Wolfgang Tillmans Takes MoMA by Storm

“Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear,” at the Museum of Modern Art, is a show that certainly believes that more is more. The photographer’s first art museum survey in New York City, it collects 350 of Mr. Tillmans’s photographs, videos, and multimedia installations, and takes up the entirety of the museum’s sixth floor, images sicced high on bare walls. Running through the new year, it looks and feels like a blockbuster.
