Minnesota Museum of American Art curator Christina Chang found Anne Labovitz's exhibition "Layers" to be a refreshing immersion in portraiture art. Christina admires Labovitz's technique of layering portraits of family, friends, and strangers in a way that gives the pieces added depth and mystery. This is the final weekend of the show at the Burnet Gallery at Le Meridien Chambers in Minneapolis.
