New Yorkers could not be more dog obsessed.
As someone who recently adopted a pup, let me tell you, having a furry friend in this town is an actual problem. If you've got a leash in hand with somebody cute attached you're not going to make it ten steps down the street without some stranger falling to the ground with the same rapid fire questions. How old? What kind? Where'd you get him? What's his name? ... Like, von Bülow? I might as well just carry a sign that say: Five months. Retriever mix. ARF in East Hampton. Claus. No, but thanks for thinking I'm crazy.
And so it is a sure thing that Fotografiska's newest exhibit, Best in Show, is set to be a hit.
A brilliant wall of dog doppelgängers, a portrait series of dog tushes, bath time beauty shots and more fill the exhibit which spans 150 works by two dozen photographers.
On view now through January, there's lots of cuteness to take in and artsy intellectual questions to ask.
What is love? Who owns whom? Why are cats just so damn judgmental?
