We are living in perilous times. A raving maniac sits in the White House — people are being rounded up and deported — environmental regulations are being rolled back — and the Russians are blackmailing the President of the United States.

You would not know any of that from the Armory Show in New York. Except for JR whose powerful images of immigrants from an earlier time pierce the mood of tax break excess.
