“The Patroness was Watching”
:x:
Jackie Oh! lived at 1040 Fifth Avenue (brilliantly sunlit at the video’s start), directly across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. From her full-floor apartment on the 15th floor she could look through the glass wall of The Met’s rear north wing, housing the Temple of Dendur. It was indeed fitting because she was instrumental getting the tenth-century B.C. temple awarded to the museum.
:x:
Before Jackie Oh! entertained at night she would telephone The Met, asking that the lights be left on in the temple’s gallery for her guests to see the temple, that had been dedicated to the Goddess Isis.
