I usually don't try to cover visual arts or architectural topics, but this story is fun. Down in the basement of the Frick Collection, the old mansion of steel tycoon Henry Clay Frick, that now houses a remarkable collection of European art ... and a gorgeous old-school bowling alley that is, apparently, never used, according to yesterday's New York Times article:
“Occasionally, we invite some friends down for a look,” says Mr.
Bailey, a terse man in a dark blue corduroy suit. And beyond the
occasional look? Mr. Bailey stiffens. “It’s not a public room.”
Read all of In Frick's basement, an Unknown Masterpiece.
You would think the Collection might let the staff down there to throw a few frames at lunch on occasion...
