MoMA Opening: "The Original Copy: The Photography of Sculpture, 1839 to Today"

Studying how photography has been used to document and make art of bodies, monuments, and various things that constitute sculpture is the premise of MoMA's new show on the 6th floor. At the opening tonight it was kind of like a walk along a long stretch of beach, past sandcastles, lifeguard stands, views of the dunes... and all those people...
