Esther Netter: A One-Woman Dynamo
Time is running out for Esther Netter. On June 6, the Zimmer Children\’s Museum will unveil its most ambitious art exhibit in its 14-year history to an expected sellout crowd of 300.

Seated in a conference room with two Zimmer executives, Netter gave a progress report on the last-minute preparations for \”Show & Tel: Art of Connection,\” which will feature 179 telephones transformed into artworks by the likes of musician Alicia Keys, actress Elizabeth Taylor and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
