What’s the expression — those who live in glass houses shouldn’t … sue their architect ex-lovers?
What’s the expression — those who live in glass houses shouldn’t … sue their architect ex-lovers? A new book, reviewed by Nancy Zastudil, complicates the established story of what went down between Mies van der Rohe and Edith Farnsworth after he designed that iconic eponymous house. In more recent drama, the internet is displeased with photographer Annie Leibovitz’s art-inspired Vogue shoot of actor Anne Hathaway. Read Sarah Rose Sharp’s take below — she can always be counted on for her caustic wit. Next, run it back a millennium, or even a couple: The 1,000-year-old Bayeux Tapestry is headed back to the United Kingdom, and 3,000-year-old coffins seem to suggest that Ancient Egyptians knew of the Milky Way. Elsewhere in today’s issue, the Buffalo History Museum is postponing an event with a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist after he received death threats for a cartoon about the Texas floods, Shamim M. Momin takes the helm of the Bronx Museum in advance of a nearly $50-million renovation, and always more. — Lisa Yin Zhang, Associate Editor | | |
