LEON LEVINSTEIN
@ THE MET

Also on Sunday, I stumbled on a small exhibit of Leon Levinstein's at the MET. I swear, every time I visit the MET, I discover a whole new wing, a whole new gallery. That place is simply gargantuan.

The show is called Hipsters, Hustlers and Handball Players: Leon Levinstein's New York Photographs, 1950–1980, and few of the above images are included. My favorite mmmmay be that very regal Coney Island queen...

But they all are literal jaw-droppers. So New York. So gritty. So lovely in its grit.

The good news is, although the Picasso show is no longer up, this one's up until October 17.
