I am proud to present my first guest blogger, who will make you hope that CultureGrrl lingers longer in Athens:

Filling in for me will be Martin Filler, a regular contributor since 1985 to The New York Review of Books, which last year published his critically acclaimed book Makers of Modern Architecture.

You are undoubtedly well acquainted with Martin's writings, which have appeared in more than 30 newspapers, magazines, and journals in the US, Europe and Japan. He has been a guest curator for design exhibitions at the Whitney and Brooklyn museums and has written award-winning documentary films on contemporary architecture for Michael Blackwood Productions. Filler recently began a four-times-a-year opinion column for Architectural Record, as well as a monthly collecting feature for The Magazine Antiques. In 2003 he was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

His sizzling posts---about architecture, decorative arts and art museums---begin tomorrow. I leave you in very good hands...maybe TOO good! I may pop in on you once in a while from Athens, just so my devoted art-lings don't completely forget me.

In any event (barring major travel glitches), I'll be posting again today, possibly tomorrow, and then next week on Thursday or Friday, at the latest.
