The full heat of the summer is now upon us and the New York art world is on its way into hibernation. Posting between now and early September will be spotty and intermittent, as very few (if any) new photography shows will be opening until the fall season begins. In general, I will be slowly picking off a few stragglers and outliers, and singling out a few random highlights from various group shows on Twitter (@DLKCOLLECTION), but mostly, I'll be on vacation as well.
