Although I haven’t seen this show yet… it is one that I am very much looking forward to. The Neo- Concrete movement is one that I find to be quite fascinating. If you are in NYC and visit the newly expanded and renovated MoMA, make sure not to miss this show. I’ll be going in early January!!
If the show looks of interest, here is some addition information….
