The fall art season kicked off with a resounding bang last night. Crowds poured into Chelsea, the heart of New York’s art district, and the excitement of multiple exhibitions opening all at once electrified the neighborhood. Almost 1,300 people came to see Invasion 68 Prague, featuring the work of legendary photographer Josef Koudelka. This pivotal group of images is presented on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Soviet-led invasion of Prague and runs through October 30.
