I did visit Sunday, and it is well worth the effort. It's a larger show than I expected, covering four rooms in a special exhibit area. It opens off of the Diego Rivera Court, which is fitting as about 1/2 of the images were taken inside Ford's Rouge plant. This is also a perfect bookend to the recently departed Avedon Exhibit, in visual style. Given that Frank started his American career as a fashion photographer, it is hard to imagine a more dramatic difference. Lots of grain, missed focus, wayward exposures and subjects about to fall off of one side of the frame or the other. Very effective in expressing himself, though.
It's stays up to July 3, so there is lot's of time.

Although I'm sure Bill Sawyer will preview it for us. I'm busy now as well, and the show runs until May.
