Mystery Spot owner's photos featured at MoMA

Laura Levine, the proprietrix of Phoenicia's thrift-store-cum-junk-shrine Homer & Langley's Mystery Spot Antiques, also happens to have taken some of rock's most iconic images (such as a portrait of naked, leaf-covered Bjork) during her career as a music photographer.

On Wednesday, several of her photos, including the one above of Tina Weymouth and Grandmaster Flash in 1981, were unveiled as part of an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. "Looking at Music 3.0" explores "the influence of music on contemporary art practices," with a focus on New York in the 1980s and 1990s -- Levine's photographic heyday. It runs until June 6. For more info, check out Levine's Facebook event and her online photo gallery, where she's hawking limited-edition prints of the above photograph.
