Arriving in New York as a very young photographer in the late 1970s, Jeannette Montgomery Barron experienced the art scene of the city as both an insider and an outsider. The Collezione Maramotti created a fantastic video walk-through of Barron’s exhibition, on view through July 31, 2014, complete with a detailed discussion with the artist in English and subtitled in Italian.
