When my kids were very young, I remember dropping them at nursery school and having a small window of time during which I either wanted to work out my body or my mind. I’d take an exercise class and then go to a cafe and read my book. When the amount of time grew, I’d venture to one of the wonderful museums in NYC to stretch my mind even further.
Thats why this program appeals to me. The Jewish Museum, at Fifth Ave and 92nd St, is starting a new program series called am@thejm that begins on Monday, October 24 at 9 AM. It will be a morning of conversation and coffee in an exclusive series featuring significant collectors, artists and art historians. Designed for parents who have just dropped their child or children off at school or other art lovers who have Monday mornings free, attendees will be able to join art world experts for animated discussions with an intimate group of like-minded, young art enthusiasts.
Led by well-known collector Alice Zimet, the fall series, Collecting Photography with Alice Zimet, is devoted to the art of photography. Ms. Zimet will cover the best places to acquire photographs, how pricing is determined, gallery vs. auction house purchases, and insider advice on savvy collecting.
