Max's Kansas City: Exhibit

If you haven't gotten around to seeing The Steven Kasher Gallery's exhibit of photographs snapped during the heyday of Max's Kansas City, its thyme 2 gogh...... you only have about ten days left. It closes on Oct. 9th and it definitely worth popping in for.

Max's Kansas City was the scene headquarters for emerging artists in the '60s and '70s, and if you are reading this now.....you probably wouldn't have been allowed in. Only the elite of pop culture were allowed to grace the place with their presence. Andy Warhol famously said Max's  " was where pop art and pop life came together."

Fortunately for the rest of us, photographers Ebet Roberts, Anton Perich, and others were allowed in and some of their great iconic pictures have survived. If you are in New York next week, do yourself a favor and catch this. If you are elsewhere, view the exhibit online and get in touch with your inner pop culture punk.
