Pictures by Women at MoMA



If you happen to visit MoMA anytime soon don't miss the small exhibition (200 works) on the third floor (next to Bruce Nauman's DAYS) Pictures by Women: A History of Modern Photography. The show is stellar and exhibited in a thoughtful chronological order. Artists included are Roni Horn, Helen Levitt, Yoko Ono, Diane Arbus, and Imogen Cunningham, among many more.

Images above are Cindy Sherman, Untitled #92, 1981 and Valie Export, Action Pants: Genital Panic, 1969

Take my advice and do not attempt to go on a Sunday in the summer if you are coming from Brooklyn. It took me nearly two hours to get there today due to construction and the other typical MTA mishaps that continue to cripple the subways on the weekends. I had to take the M at Myrtle/Wyckoff to the J at Myrtle to the N at Canal Street to the Q at Times Square/42nd Street to the E to 53rd and 5th Avenue to MoMA, finally. It was very aggravating. Oh, and I almost forgot - it was also raining.

Anyway, go see the show and enjoy what is left of Sunday...

Thanks Diana. Remember the last time I did that? We had to take the shuttle bus (no Q train) into Manhattan and had to smell mac and cheese the entire way. Ugh, the subway is depressing in the summer.

Union Pool was great last night BTW; sorry you are working so late with the new gig.

I need to meet the new dog BTW!!
