Article on Historic Framing in New Yorker

[josephforthill]

There is a very interesting article in the current (3/27) New Yorker magazine. The focus is finding the appropriate frame for a painting owned by the Brooklyn Museum, but it discusses frame making, gilding, and the aesthetics of frames.

I'll look for it. In the mean time, could you post who wrote the article?

thanks

According to their website, it's written by someone named Leo Carey. Sounds interesting- I'll have to track that down.
