How deliciously ironic! In his excellent art review focused on the details in the photographs of Ralph Bartholomew Jr. at LACMA (“Eyeing Madison Avenue,” March 30), Christopher Knight inadvertently proves once again ‘that the devil is in the details.” Describing the featured color photo made for Inco Nickel, the manufacturer of the major constituent of stainless steel, Knight writes: “. . . the brushed-aluminum door . . . of the oven.”
An aluminum door in an Inco ad! That would be the day! Tommy Lasorda would cheer for the San Francisco Giants before that would ever happen. It’s stainless, Mr. Knight. In the 1960s, aluminum was never in that oven game.
