Harold Keshishian's
Textile Rug Morning Part 1
Harold
Keshishian on the right with Daniel Walker
the new Director of the Textile Museum.
While Walker is the new director and in
many ways the future of the Textile Museum Harold is not
really the past as much as he is part of the bedrock upon
which the Museum is founded.
HK first became a Trustee in 1969.
Of course if anyone is up to the task
of guiding the TM into the future it is Daniel Walker. He
is among the most serious scholars in the field of rugs.
I have to be careful of what I say
about John Howe. He is a humble man and just wants me to
say that he has a keen interest and quite a few rug
books, but that he makes make no claims about
"knowing" much of anything about rugs. So for
the sake of his humbleness and modesty I will not point
out the excellent work he does on Turkotek or how bright
he is.
Here is John working on a photo essay
that no doubt will be posted on Turkotek in no time. I
also offered him any of my images if there is a picture
that does turn out.
