It's the final week of the exhibition, When is a Doll not a Doll? at the Bruno David Gallery. The exhibition continues Wednesday, April 1 through Saturday, April 4, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
For everyone who attended Opening Night, here's a chance to see the show again; this time, unobstructed. If you haven't seen the exhibition yet, I urge you to take some time out of your day and check out the 24 portraits of vintage Barbie dolls. They're nothing like anything you've seen before. As the press release says "Through these vivid images of the timeless figure, Torno liberates Barbie from her box and places her again into the realm of the imagination."
It's definitely a must-see for anyone who thinks they know what a Barbie doll looks like.
