Colors (Primarily)

I spent the other day at MOMA with the boy, who is on spring break, taking in a few shows including the fantastic Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today. If you're in NYC, go see it. Here's some colorful selections. We'll get back to the vinyl soon - when I have the time.

In the meantime, dig this...
