Good news for Holbein fans in or near Portland, Oregon. NYTimes has an
article today on the current exhibit at the Portland, Oregon museum of Art:
"Madonna With Basel Mayor Jakob Meyer and His Family," is on view in the
United States for the first time in a widely anticipated exhibition at
the Portland Art Museum in Oregon."
(That would be this one:

"The show, "Hesse: A Princely German Collection," provides both a rare
public glimpse of one of the finest private art collections in Europe
and an indirect primer on German laws governing cultural patrimony: six
paintings in the show, including the Holbein, are on that country's list
of "unexportable national treasures."
Also mentions some 15th century Flemish tapestries but doesn't specify.
Runs through March 19. Full NYTimes article at: (free registration may
