Cézanne and Beyond (...and beyond...)...and UPDATED
Since I told you that you simply MUST see the Philadelphia Museum's landmark Cézanne and Beyond show, I must let you know that it's just been extended beyond its original May 17 close date. You now have through May 31 (including Memorial Day) to catch curator Joe Rishel's consummate tour de force (or see it a second time). This gives new life to one wag's early title for the show, related to me by Joe: "Cézanne...an' on...an' on...an' on..."
The museum reports:
As of Apr. 1, some 134,000 tickets have been issued for "Cézanne and Beyond," with visitors coming from more than 39 states, including California, New Mexico, Texas and Utah, and from around the world, including Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Mexico, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.I assume this show will be on the agenda of everyone attending the American Association of Museums' annual meeting in Philly, Apr. 30-May 4.
It is not traveling anywhere else, and you will never see its likes again.
UPDATE: The Philadelphia equivalent of the Metropolitan Museum's recent The Philippe de Montebello Years, only with a mournful as well as celebratory air, will open later this month. A Director's Vision: The Legacy of Anne d'Harnoncourt (scroll down), Apr. 25-July 19, will not be an exhibition per se, but a placing of labels throughout the Philadelphia Museum that "highlight magnificent examples of the more than 79,000 works of art acquired during d'Harnoncourt's directorship (1982-2008), as well as more than 100 modern and contemporary paintings and sculptures acquired while she was curator of those collections (1972-1982), and selections from the outpouring of gifts presented to the museum in d'Harnoncourt's memory."
