		The acquisition of 25 early Chinese paintings by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1973 has come under sharp criticism by leading scholars, dealers and collectors who contend that many of the works are wrongly attributed and inaccurately dated.
		Sickman is regarded not only as one of the most highly respected museum directors in the country but also as a leading authority in the field of Chinese art, said that he had understood that his comments on the paintings were to be treated confidentially by the Metropolitan.
		The acquisition came at a time when the museum had been criticized on its deaccessioning policies and its acquisition of the Euphronius vase and the museum was eager to demonstrate a policy of greater public disclosure.

		In a lavish feat of nostalgia, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has spent $12.4 million on the renovation of a wing to house its renowned collection of nineteenth-century paintings and sculptures.
		The Metropolitan curators seem to feel that with the close of the postmodern eighties, the Great Modernist Conflagration has finally burned itself out, and they have seized the opportunity to build a revised interpretation of nineteenth-century art.
		The conviction that inspired these new galleries was that, again in the words of the Times art critic, "nineteenth-century art looks best in nineteenth-century rooms." And these rooms are indeed calm, spacious, and pleasing to the eye.

		Koda says he usually is hesitant to move costume presentations into the museum's main galleries (last done in 2001 for a Jacqueline Kennedy exhibit), fearing they either would look too artificial or would offer an uncanny reality.

		Philadelphia painter Thomas Eakins (1844–1916), considered by many to be the paragon of American realism, was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition in 2001–2002 organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with additional venues at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
		The large installations in Philadelphia and New York included well over 150 works in several media—oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, sculpture, and photographs—all by Eakins except for a statuette of him by his student Samuel Murray and a handful of difficult-to-attribute photographs taken by members of his immediate circle.

		Onteora was within hailing distance of New York City, where Wheeler first partnered with Louis Comfort Tiffany and later became CEO of her own firm, Associated Artists.
		She was, of course, a woman—as well as wife and mother—and in her chosen profession this was an advantage of sorts; women were, after all, expected to tend to the household arts.
		So it is a special pleasure for me to see Candace Wheeler written back into the history of American art, at the very center of the ongoing debate about the relationship between art and Art, design and art, between the arts and business, industry, and commerce, and between the home and the gallery.
