ART AT THE CENTENNIAL ExHIBIrIoN-wHY
FOREIGN ARTISTS HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED
SPACE AND WHY AMERICANS HAVE NOT BEEN.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 81 1875
Recently when the Centennial Commissioners had
read the ingenious articles New York paper con
cernng the Exhibition, their exclamation has been in
effect if not in words, like that of FalstaG in King
Henry w.. 3" Lord, Lord, how this world is rven TO
lying' The latest assertion requiring correction is
that the Centennial Commissioners have refused to
make any assignment OF space IN the Memorial Hall
the art gallery for American artists while they have
long since assigned the space for foreign under
their respective nationailes. These allegations may
be briefly explained py the annoupcement, authorized
by Mr. Sartain. head OF the art department, that
no ASSIGNMENTS or SPACE
whatever have been made the Centennial art gallery
until very lately. The general apportionment-a pre-
lmnary matter quite different from individual assign
ments-has just been begun. None has yet been made
Tor the United States, Tor the very good that
the Commissioners have not been informed how much
artists will want and because the Director
General will be able TO give them all they need IL is
been authorized to construct the
ART GALLERY,
which was lately described in the HERALD one-thrd
room is given for this department. making ST. 900
square feet of wall space or counting the building
for the display OF photographs, 100 600 square
feet in all II there is an impression that
foreign nations have been assigned space IN
the art gallery II arises evidently from the fact that
when the Commissioners from abroad have asked for
definite of space the walls OF the gallery il
has Of course, been accorded-just Belgium has to-
day requested 900 square feet and the little Ar
gcntine Republic for 800 feet OF course when these
foreign commissions know the number Of artists from
their country who want to exhibit they ask for Their
allotment, and themselves make the assignments 10
the painters and scuptors who have applied. AS the
art bureau OF the commission for country have re-
ceved no such definite information on this point-this
matter being by means the only one in which we
are behind transatlantic competitors-they can
make estimates.
