The Rorschach Test

Look, everybody makes mistakes. See.

But reps from Duke University's Nasher Museum of Art were none too pleased to find the name of their director, Kimerly Rorschach, spelled incorrectly on the "Directors' Forward" in the thick catalog for the "El Greco to Velasquez" show that opens Sunday. The show has been co-organized by the Museum of Fine Arts and Nasher, but the catalog was published by MFA Publications.

The catalog spelled her name "Borschach."

Whoops.

The MFA says that it has already corrected the error and that 8,200 of the 10,000 catalogs printed will be a-Ok. But what about the remaining 1,800? Some have already been given out to the press, and others will remain on sale until the fixed copies come in and can replace them.

Not to be outdone, the Nasher's web site did list MFA curator Ronni Baer as "Ronnie" until, well, we called and let them know. Ah, the magic eraser that is the Internet.
