Gagosian Gallery in New York is exhibiting the latest works of legendary musician Bob Dylan. Gagosian claims on its website that the show is "a visual reflection on his [Dylan's] travels in Japan, China, Vietnam, and Korea," and the "people, street scenes, architecture, and landscapes" that he encountered there.
