I saw a few pictures of the show from a friend's Facebook posting as well as the newspaper style catalog of his prints (which looked really cool, I actually want to buy a copy). It's a retrospective showing works from 1947-2016 at the NYU Tisch school of the arts and runs to Feb. 11th. I am going to catch it next week if I can as it looks very interesting. Has anyone gone to the show yet? It's great that he's still going at it at 91!

Oh also here is a link to the awesome newspaper style prints.

I did end up going to the show briefly after work on the last week. Very interesting imagery, there was a number of viewers in the main lobby, I really liked reading the letters that were written and translated of old correspondence. The 8th floor was much quieter with less images, and also where you bought his newspaper catalog (they were $5 each!). I think the only problem going so late was that a number of his prints had started to fall off the wall, ripping free, they were printed on such thin paper. I wonder what they did with them after, toss them?, gave them away to students for a dorm room wall?, or returned them to Mr. Frank? who knows...
