MUZI QUAWSON at YOSSI MILO


ART:
After a chance encounter in 2002, Muzi Quawson spent four years photographing Amanda Jo Williams, a rangy down-and-out rocker and mother living upstate in Woodstock. The twelve photographs displayed in “Pull Back the Shade”—Quawson’s first solo show in the States—are gritty and luminous, spare portraits of an artist working far outside the glamour and cash nexus of the art world. — Katie Charles (NYMAG) Thru 29/03 at Yossi Milo 525 W. 25th ST Near 10th Ave NYC
