It wasn’t quite “Shut up and show me the Cézannes!” but Deborah Solomon got pretty damn close. The sharp-tongued former New York Times columnist, now art critic for WNYC, ruffled feathers at Wednesday’s “Armory Show at 100” preview at the New-York Historical Society when she cut short president Louise Mirrer’s opening remarks.
“The art preview was supposed to start at 10 a.m.,” Solomon snapped at 10:30, as the crowd waited outside the gallery to hear obligatory thank-yous. “When are you going to show us the art?” Mirrer, introducing a historian, stopped abruptly. “There’s one in every crowd,” one observer murmured to The Post’s Barbara Hoffman.
