This implies that the glazes contained approximately 2 meters wide and 130 arts in our homes and schools. A crass and boorish popular culture is eroding basic tenets of conduct and taste. Art in general, not just clay, is vital to America and to all people who share this ever-shrinking globe. A life without art and the wonder that art can produce is an exist­ ence that creates diminished hope, light and human progress. A mass-produced celadon vase from Hong Kong is fine with this under-40 crowd. No attention is paid to history, quality or form. This will eventally cause great harm to American potters, as well as serious potters around the world. We must not give in to this wave of cultural retreat. Tom Turnquist, Lakewood, CO Dustproof, Not Fireproof I’m sorry to be a spoiler but, as a profes­ sional engineer, I must register alarm at the suggestion from a reader to dustproof a stereo system by sealing it in a plastic con­ tainer (April 2005, page 30). Electronic equipment generates heat and, unless specifically designated otherwise, it requires adequate ventilation. Even on a system that has no louvers or slots, the metal case may be acting as a heat sink that depends upon airflow around the case. The heat build-up in an enclosed container could not only shorten the life of the equipment, but also the life of the user if a fire breaks out.

    Press Release for Editing

    Moderne Gallery Is Making A Move! - as always...looking forward, taking the lead ---- From Old City to Port Richmond, Philadelphia, in January 2019 Moderne Gallery, recognized internationally as the prime gallery for studio craft furniture, and as the leading Nakashima dealer in the world, is moving to a new center for high end design, art and antiques in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, as of January 2019. The new showroom is not open to the public as of yet, but can be visited by appointment only. It is set to open in the Spring of 2019. Moderne Gallery will be the first tenant in the Showrooms at 2220, a newly restored former mill at 2220 East Allegheny Avenue, (Port Richmond) Philadelphia, PA 19134. The 100,000 square-foot building is owned and managed by Jeffrey Kamal and Joe Holahan, co-owners of Kamelot Auction Company, which holds its auctions and has its offices in the building. "We are not downsizing, or giving up our showroom concept with special exhibitions," says Moderne Gallery founder/director Robert Aibel. "And certainly we will continue to build our business through internet sales." Joshua Aibel, Robert's son, is now co-director of Moderne Gallery and helping to develop this combination of sales concepts. "We see this as an opportunity to move to a setting that presents a comprehensive, easily accessible major art, antiques and design center for our region, just off I-95," says Josh Aibel. "The Showrooms at 2220 offer an attractive new venue with great showroom spaces and many advantages for our storage and shipping requirements." Moderne Gallery's new showrooms are being designed by the gallery's longtime interior designer Michael Gruber of Philadelphia.
