The Jazz Loft Project: thank you and farewell
Nasher Museum Director Kim Rorschach’s kind note mentioned that 37,000 people had attended “The Jazz Loft Project” during the recently-closed run at her museum. I’m not experienced with local museum traffic but that number struck me as enormous.

The Unexpected
The artist chose to expose a truth, a taboo, in the African American community. This work is by far my favorite in the collection because of the emotional connection I developed with the exceptional work of art.

Gazing at stars
The curator of the Bronx Museum show, Isolde Brielmaier, has juxtaposed 31 of Ms. Cattlet’s works with pieces by 21 other artists — less to point out her direct influences on them, Ms. Brielmaier said, than to explore resonances between the older artist and the younger ones.
