• Lo que pienso cuando visito el Museo de Historia Natural, el Metropolitan [Museo de Arte], y observo estos artefactos sacados de contexto y cómo nos vemos obligados a verlos como objetos, como reliquias, como esculturas... estáticos. Pero lo interesante es lo que me permite hacer en mi cabeza en términos de imaginar cuáles son las posibilidades o imaginar el papel que desempeñaron dentro de una cultura particular que me fascina.

• ~I don't always have a lot of energy, but my kids almost always revitalize me. Of course like any working mom, sometimes I'm guilt-ridden. I think I should be sitting down doing an educational computer game with Carrie or taking Ellie to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These kids are such sponges, and I should be taking advantage of that.~

• It took the Metropolitan Museum of Art nearly 50 years to wake up to Pablo Picasso. It didn't own one of his paintings until 1946, when Gertrude Stein bequeathed that indomitable quasi-Cubistic picture of herself - a portrait of the writer as a sumo Buddha - to the Met, principally because she disliked the Museum of Modern Art.

• The Metropolitan Museum of Art some time ago held a display of contemporary art at which $52,000 was awarded to American sculptors, painters, and artists in allied fields. The award for the best painting went to the canvas of an Illinois artist. It was described as "a macabre, detailed work showing a closed door bearing a funeral wreath." Equally striking was the work's title: "That which I should have done, I did not do."
