I would like to inform all members of an interesting exhibition and lecture series, taking place at the New York School of Interior Design from January 23 – April 12, 2008. The school is located at 170 East 70th Street in NYC.
The exhibition is called “Watercolors from the Highgrove Florilegium,” and will be in the school’s Gallery. A four-part lecture series, open to the public, is also scheduled. Individual tickets are $35 or $125 for the four-lecture series. The following is a synopsis of the lectures:
