In Springs, a beloved 'Museum of Low Taste'
In their Springs home, Bonnie Maslin and her husband, Yehuda Nir, have 60 lazy Susans, cupboards upon cupboards of vertically stacked and colorful plates, and enough china — on shelves, hidden in cabinets and stacked in drawers — to serve thousands. And that’s not even the half of it.
Maslin said she and her husband have gathered a collection of post-war American kitsch they believe has no rival. As long as it fits the time period — from the end of World War II into the 1950s — no item is too trivial, too extraneous or too ugly for the Museum of Low Taste, the name a friend gave their home, and one they have warmly embraced.
“There is a lot of charm here,” Maslin said, walking through room after room of her home and in each one taking pleasure in delving through the possession she has there. “And there’s a lot of ugliness, too.”
