Netcong, New JerseyI thought this was interesting! The New Yorker magazine has an article online this week about an art exhibit at the New Museum in New York called the 20th Century through the eyes of the Teddy Bear! I think I'll go! Lots of wonderful pictures on the article located here:

Check it out! 
Past Time BearsVery interesting . . . thanks for the link, Esther!
It sounds fascinating! (Though I disagree with the artist's minimalization of the teddy bear as phenomenon of the 20th century.) If you do go, I'd love to hear what you thought of the show!

Netcong, New JerseyOh, I'm definitely going...My husband Steve says, "Hmmmmm, even though your knee is bothering you, it doesn't seem to hurt anymore when teddy bears are involved!" So true!
Here's a picture from the museum's website to give you an idea of the size of the exhibit!
Wow, impressive! And lucky that the knee pain can be overcome for special circumstances.

Past Time BearsOh my goodness . . . how could one see everything?! It'd take me hours to look at all the photos - and I would certainly want to.
Boechout, AntwerpWow, I wish I could see it too. 
Netcong, New JerseySo I went to this exhibit on Saturday, and wowowowowow! It was amazing and wonderful and fun and sad and moving and overwhelming all at the same time. I wondered what happened to all these teddies and all these people in the pictures!! Each teddy on display had a coordinating original photograph with its owner for its provenance. I only got one good picture of a photograph of a little girl with the cat on wheels with the teddy. (I hope you can see it.) There were a lot of people there that day. I hope it encourages new interest in bears!
Here's some pictures:
Steiff Titanic bear (first time I've seen one in person!)
20 inch Steiff sitting on a chair, both of which are in an original picture.
Strunz bear, about six inches sitting. Amazing little bear with pearl buttons
Steiff cat on wheels with his bear friend.

Past Time BearsOh my goodness!! How fantastic it would've been to be there!! Thanks for the photos!
Boechout, AntwerpOh yes, it looks fabulous! Thank you for sharing the pictures, Esther! 
Netcong, New JerseyYou're very welcome! I hope the artist will put them on display again somewhere!
Wow indeed! You did a much better job than the press photos of showing us the in-the-fur bears that were on display. I'm pretty smitten with the little Strunz!
Thanks for sharing,
Becky
