GALLERIES

The Busch-Reisinger Museum finally, last weekend, after months of preparation and excited anticipation on behalf of everyone who'd seen their notices pasted up all over the Fogg, opened an exhibit of Eucharistic Vessels of the Middle Ages. If you're a middle ages freak, the show is fantastic. The vessels--chalices, monstrances, patens--are made of silver, copper gilt, Ivory and enamel, and are sumptuous and beautiful. The purpose of the show is to explain the relation of these objects to theology and liturgy in the middle ages. If you're at all interested in that, it's great--go see it. Through April 26.

Prints by Folon are back at Graphics 1 and Graphics 2, 168 Newbury St. in Boston. They were at the same place this time last year when I first started composing these listings. Folon is great--also very popular these days, and his stuff has gotten very expensive. I recommend salvaging his new Yorker covers rather than shelling out a substantial amount of dough for an original print.

Igor Galanin, a Jewish immigrant from the Soviet Union, is showing his paintings at the Pucker/Safari Gallery, 171 Newbury St., Boston.

Ceramic work by Marlis Schratter and Woven pieces by Mary Postlewalte at the Stebbins Gallery, 0 Church St., through March 30.

The Museum of Afro-American History at 90 Waren St. in Roxbury is hosting an exhibit called "The Hill: The Middle Classes Come to Roxbury: 1870-," Now through March 30.
