Better late than never....

I've just read an interesting review of the exhibition and catalogue  
of 'Tapestry in the baroque: threads of splendor' at the Metropolitan  
Museum in New York and Palacio Real in Madrid held in 2007-2008.
Catalogue (same title) by Thomas P. Campbell, 563 pages, $75, $55  
paperback. Promises to be very erudite. Has anybody read it?

Review:
Anthony Grafton, 'The wonders of the loom', The New York Book Review,  
January 17, 2008, pp 56-60

The art historical/historical/cultural context is also discussed: good  
article for non tapestry specialists to update their background  
knowledge.

Late because I get a heap of NYBRs only once a year from a friend who  
travels 3-4 months every other year.



Best wishes,

Jennifer Barnett
