“Long Life Cool White: Photographs by Moyra Davey” at the Fogg Art Museum

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28 - MONDAY, JUNE 30
For type-A neat freaks, Moyra Davey's photographs might induce a bit of angst, as clutter and dust often take center stage. But many find beauty in the images, along with a heightened awareness of what are often considered mundane aspects of our day-to-day world. A 40-photograph survey of Davey's work - the first of its kind, and her first major museum exhibition - is at the Fogg Art Museum (32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, 617.495.9400). "Long Life Cool White: Photographs by Moyra Davey" spans Davey's 20-year career and features shots of stacks of records, bursting-at-the-seams bookshelves, and New York's disappearing newspaper vendors. General admission to the museum is $9.
