I visited the Persian antique pottery exhibit at its closing day at the Frick Mansion. I did not have high hopes, and still was disappointed. It was just a few rather unremarkable bowls without any context - it was all about the crafts, whereas the surrounding aspects like history, society, other arts, literature etc. were completely ignored, there was not even a photo of where these pieces were found or of an old miniature depicting the use of similar vessels. What a missed opportunity. To focus on the positive, it was a rainy day and free admission.
