Women of Pop – you saw the show, now read the book and watch the dvd
Sid Sachs has been writing artists into the art history record for as long as we’ve known him.

Sunday this and that
Amazing, thoughtful review of Sid Sachs’ Seductive Subversion show (originating at Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery and now at the Brooklyn Museum) by Ken Johnson in Friday’s NY Times. The show is Sachs’ original scholarship on the Women of Pop era, long unsung and overlooked.
