"The Dash Gets Its Moment"
From the Wall Street Journal:
"Conceptual photographer David Matterhorn's show,
installed in a rare-book shop,
focuses on the 'dash' symbol used between birth and death years on tombstones."
"He spent four years zooming in on the dashes of ordinary people as well as celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Oscar Wilde."
Slide show of 14 images here.
From the top down: Bruce Lee, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Jam Master Jay, Malcolm X, Jackson Pollock, Marilyn Monroe, Harry Houdini.
John McWhinnie @ Glenn Horowitz Bookseller, New York City. Closes today.

Permanence, Authority, History, Suspense and a bushel of Intrigue.
