This is a review of two exhibitions at the Folk Museum and the Museum of Art and Design in New York. From the latter exhibition, Andrea Deszo's "Lessons from My Mother" is described, in particular the piece"My Mother Claimed That A Woman's Legs Are So Strong That No man Can Spread Them If She Doesn't Let Him." This is one of two works purchased by the Sackners from the artist after viewing the exhibition. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
