Film Still: Andy Warhol. Screen Test: "Baby" Jane Holzer. 1964
A couple of weeks ago I went to MoMA to see the Max Beckman exhibit, Ansel Adams at 100, and the Andy Warhol: Screen Tests. All pretty cool. The Beckman and Adams exhibits stand on their own, and the Warhol screen tests are worth seeing only if you're already out there. Adams' show are mostly small prints, with so many from the early years and a single lone city shot of downtown New York which I happened to really love.

Warhol ends soon on September 1, Beckman on September 29. Adams will be around awhile as it just opened up last month. By the way, don't forget that MoMA offers Pay-what-you wish admission on Fridays from 4:00-7:45 p.m.
Adults $12; Students (with current identification) and seniors (65 and over) $8.50; Children under 16 accompanied by an adult free
