Fourscore pommes frites from New York restaurants have been collected and lovingly mounted for this two-day exhibit. Though sponsored by a condiment company, Sir Kensington, with aspirations of greater commercial success, this "tribute to ketchup's most beloved delivery vessel" has been curated (and annotated) with uncommon charm. The closeup shows a schmaltz fry from The Harrison, which according to recent accounts will be extinct, at least in its current habitat, by the end of the year.
