Centuries, in fact: <BR/>http://www.signandsight.com/features/1703.html<BR/><BR/>It's marketing rhetoric meant to inflate the product's significance, as you probably know. Same with the wall texts you abhor, Ms. Diehl. It's silly, and no one is persuaded by it, it's just a carnival barker's come-on. However it did make me want to go to their site and look at the work--to be charitable it's no better or worse than most of what is out there these days. As an artist and former art reviewer, I've learned to tune out that aspect of gallery business and museum going and focus on the work itself. <BR/> <BR/>I've enjoyed your reviews in AiA and only just stumbled on your blog via google. It's quite engaging.
