Irving Penn at the Morgan Library & Museum
'Close Encounters: Irving Penn Portraits of Artists and Writers' at The Morgan Library and Museum in New York is the museum's first foray into modern photography. It happens to highlight one of my favorite photographers.
Acquired in 2007, thirty-five donated by the artist, they cross every decade of Penn's career. The first is from 1944 while the most recent, of Jasper Johns, is from 2006. The exhibit runs until April 13.
