Photo Tour: Women Pop Artists at the Brooklyn Museum

The thing that is amazing about New York is that not only are there tons of great museums in Manhattan, but Brooklyn has its own museum--one that any city would be proud to have. It would be a little like, I don't know, the west side of Houston having its own art museum. Here are photos from a show, Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists 1958-1968,  I saw there earlier this month. (Did I mention that they have a very enlightened attitude towards patrons taking photos?)
