South Orange Centenarian Visits Montclair Art Museum

An 1913 exhibit now at the Montclair Art Museum recently received a visit from a South Orange resident who was born around the time of its original opening. 

Ethel Rosenfeld was born in New York City on Feb. 20, 1913, just three days after the International Exhibition of Modern Art, better known as the Armory Show, opened at the 69th Regiment Armory Building. 

That same exhibit is now at the Montclair Art Museum, titled The New Spirit: American Art in the Armory Show, 1913.

She visited the Montclair Art Museum this week with her daughter and met with Chief Curator Gail Stavitsky.

The museum presented Rosenfeld with a commemorative 100th birthday present.
