Comments on Restored 'Gates of Paradise' in SEATTLE?
That is insane. No Canadian stops? Shit!
Thanks for posting them. They are true gems of sculpture. And back then, it was tricky work.
Wow, that's incredible - I can't wait!
Also, if I may point out, for as long as I've been reading the Slog, this is the first time I've seen a positive review of something influenced by Judeo-Christian beliefs (yes, that's snarky, but as far as I know it's also true).
Which should read as a criticism of the paltry cultural contributions of modern Christianity, to clarify.
@3 & 4,
And also a possible criticism about how little anyone cares about the classics.
Jen: Its the *copies* that are going on display, correct?
Also, I'm not sure why you weren't able to see any of the originals when you were in Florence; they've been on display in the Duomo museum since 1990 when they were taken off the babtistery. They keep them in sealed nitrogen containers. Did you skip the museum?

Stupid MSFT IE. Sorry.
No, no, *not* the copies that will be on display. The show includes three original panels.
I did skip the museum. I wanted to see them outside, where they were originally installed, but no could do. I believe they were being conserved at the time as well.
Hello everyone, wanna be part of some kind of community, possible here? anyone here?
