THE NEW YORK TIMES
By Roberta Smith
NEW YORK---New York art seasons are fully under way until the Metropolitan Museum of Art rolls out a fall exhibition with enough visual thrills and historical insights to knock your socks off. Yet this year’s offering may be even more outstanding than usual. “Interwoven Globe: The Worldwide Textile Trade, 1500-1800,” opening on Monday, is a staggering overview of more than three centuries of art, commerce, craft and cross-cultural fertilization. There are so many wonders to peruse — and so much to see within each one — that “Interwoven Globe” will benefit as few shows do from repeated visits. Magnifying glasses, which the Met is not supplying, may prove useful. [link]
