picturing perth...

...'Picturing New York', the title of the current MOMA collaboration exhibition showing at the Art Gallery of WA.

On Friday evenings, the gallery has 'AGWA after hours' with a funky pop-up 'Manhattan' bar and lighting, music, cocktails and a guided tour of the exhibition featuring over 150 photographs of New York at rest, play and everything in between.

A great way to spend a Friday night with the likes of Weegee, Cindy Sherman and Diane Arbus followed by a Cosmopolitan then a wander up Williams Street in Northbridge for a curry and gawk at the pavement world passing by.

'Most good photographs,especially the quick and the lyrical kind, are battles between the artist and luck, and the happiest victories for the artist, are draws.' James Agee 1946
