Walker Evans Polaroids at Sydney Gallery

Postby rjlhughes on Mon Aug 01, 2005 8:25 pm

The great Walker Evans made his name doing documentary pix for the Farm Administration. The Polaroids he took as a 70 year old are on show at the Yuill Crowley Gallery, 5th Floor, 4-14 Foster Street Surry Hills.

There's a good story on him from Sebastian Smee in the Australian today (August 1), from which I took the new quote on my sig.
