EXHIBITIONS 
THE exhibition last month of flower studies by Mrs. Rowan 
attracted much merited attention. During the brief 
period they were shown at the Claussen galleries, Mo. 381 
Fifth avenue, they drew many visitors. It was not alone 
from the artistic, but from the scientific standpoint that Mrs. 
Rowan's work attracted attention. She has traveled in many 
countries and visited many lands almost unknown to ordinary 
travelers, and the result of her journeyings was displayed in 
her careful studies of the flora of the world's strange places. 
In many cases plants and flowers were reproduced with 
microscopic detail, showing a great deal of work. Such a 
collection as Mrs. Rowan's properly belongs to a natural his- 
tory museum or to the great universities. 
The annual exhibition of paintings by Chicago artists 
has commenced at the Art Institute. 
An exhibition of recent works of Monet was held at the 
galleries of Messrs. Durand-Ruel. 
The second annual sale of antique Chinese porcelains 
from the art house of Thomas B. Clark commenced February 
1 2th. Rare examples of Han, Sung, Ming and Corean pot- 
teries were sold. 
The first portion of the rare collection of old china and 
antiques formed by the late Arthur True will be exhibited at 
the Knickerbocker Auction Rooms February 20th, the sale 
commencing on February 24th.
