On my recent trip to NYC, I stumbled upon a large show of contemporary photography at the Phillips Collection in midtown. It was like a small tour of the medium’s history from the 1930s until the present. Just enough work was on display — right below my threshold for visual overload. That is one of the great things about NYC, the random encounters with wonderful art. I’m glad they have these public viewings prior to the auction, it was inspiring and I came back the next day for a second look. Not that I could afford to bid on much. The prices ranged from around $1000 for the work of a little known artist to an estimated quarter million for a Cindy Sherman. The Dubuffet on the second floor was not for sale, just part of the decor of the place.
