I’m no art critic, so this will not be a detailed review. I will, however, offer the highlights of our trip.

1) Mike taught me a thing or two about Cindy Sherman.

Cindy Sherman - Untitled Film Still #43

. . .

2) There was beautiful landscape photography.

Alvin Langdon Coburn - Yosemite Valley, California

. . .

3) Also, great images from then…

Darius Kinsey - Felling a Fir Tree, 51 Feet in Circumference

… and now.

Philip-Lorca diCorcia - Marilyn; 28 Years Old; Las Vegas, Nevada

. . .

4) Mike fell in love with Larry Sultan’s work…

Larry Sultan - Pictures from Home

…and I fell in love with what looks like a Hell’s Angels fashion spread.

from Look Magazine - Hell's Angels

. . .

5) Of course there were cowboys.

Richard Prince - Untitled (Cowboy)

. . .

It was certainly worth seeing, but watch out for highfalutin language.  We walked into the middle of a discussion about an “obtusely Keynesian” work.
