Buddha in Maine
Town Hill, Maine
This exquisitely carved gilt Buddha was in an antique store in Town Hill, Maine. Although the wood is cracked, the gold paint is mostly gone, and the rest of the statue is missing, the monumental head still radiates serenity.

New York City Opera Warehouse
O statua gentilissima del gran Commendatore…
The homeless New York City Opera is auctioning off its old productions, stored in a warehouse in North Bergen, New Jersey. The cavernous, unheated warehouse is like a madman’s attic. Here is a Ford convertible used in a production of L’Elisir d’Amore, there a massive head of Adonis from The Tales of Hoffman, around the corner a backdrop designed by Maurice Sendak and a bin crammed with scores. Racks and racks of costumes, some worn by famous sopranos and some by supers. The dominant feeling you get while wandering around is sadness. How has it come to this?
