It's outstanding, full of masterpiece portraits. Unfortunately for her, Annie Leibowitz also has an exhibition there at the same time. Her exhibtion is full of poster-size prints that look ludicrous in comparison to the subtlety and depth of Newman's work: all posturing and virtually no substance. I never thought much of her work, but this particular comparison is most unfortunate for her. - --Mitch
