YES I was also thinking about that book, All The Beauty in the World. He talked about the group show in it, too. One of the nicest books I've read in a long time:

This reminded me that a ton of people recommended Patrick Bringley‘s ALL THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD to me: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/mar/05/patrick-bingley-all-beauty-world-museum-guard-moma-interview

I find the same thing with music. I host showcases and am invariably rewarded by the breadth and diversity of musicians and songwriters that most people will never hear. Looks like a wonderful show. Sorry I'm not in New York.

Kudos to the artists ; what an impressive array of talent. And special thanks to the MET for giving the opportunity, would that other institutions offer that opportunity for so many visual voices to be seen and heard. Thanks for putting this on our radar. A painter and art teacher from Maine.

A friend of mine who's a curator at MoMA tells me that most museums in the city have similar shows.

This is magnificent! Thanks for bringing people like me (who won't get to see this Met exhibit) along on your walk through these galleries. So much talent and creativity surfaced through this exhibit.

This is great! The crucifixion from above, coupled with Action Clam wins all.

I knew Jeff Elliott, of "Bather's Triptych", taught him at SVA!

So much to love in that exhibit. I'm not going to make it to NYC in time, so thanks for the photos.

So deeply important. Thank you, Tim, for the questions you raise in your writing (why is this not widely publicized? How many of us fail to think about ‘the guard’ as real person, let alone artist?). Thank you for your deep humanism. It comes through in all of your work. It improves me and my life.

I want to live in a world where all artists get such an opportunity to showcase their passions. This is incredible!
