Get to the Met

If anyone is still out there...the Met is showing so much great work right now!

The Pictures Generation, 1974–1984 is a photo show, and very similar in style and content from our show! Only...its Barbara Kruger, Thomas Lawson, Richard Prince, David Salle, Cindy Sherman, and many others.

The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion is a combination of fashion photography and clothing.

And there is also a HUGE retrospective show of Francis Bacon, which I was really blown away by.

Get there before August, you have plenty of time!
