One to visit on 10 July London gallery crawl?

Paul, I was talking about this with Ailsa and we both decided it might be one we'd want to spend a lot of time at. Personally, I'm happy to try and fit it in on the 10th, but I suspect it might be a bridge too far. No reason why we couldn't go on, say August 10th (or nearest convenient date)...make it a monthly diary date 

But yeah, this is right up my street and I will be going ASAP.

Not that I take an ounce of notice of newspaper art critic reviews............but this exhibition got a 5* thumbs up from The Independent today.

Went to the exhibition yday- it's absolutely fantastic. Some extremely compelling images which made me appreciate the skill and genius of these photographers more than before. Kertesz's polaroids and Brassai's night shots of Paris were real highlights for me. The big find for me though was Martin Munkácsi - I must confess I'd never heard of him, but his images were on a par with Kertesz, Capa and Brassai.

Highly recommend a visit
