Joel Grey Discusses New Exhibit With Jon Robin Baitz

 Joel Grey is more than an Oscar, Tony, and Golden Globe- winning performer. He is a New York icon, and he has captured the character of the city itself through his work. In MetroFocus, writer and producer Jon Robin Baitz described Grey as “at his core, a very close observer,” and his latest exhibit proves that. “Joel Grey/ A New York Life” is on display at the Museum of the City of New York through August 7.

 The exhibit is essentially a timeline, depicting New York through Grey’s eyes using objects from his stage career and his own photography. “There is a kind of New Yorker who could not live comfortable anywhere else. This applies to Mr. Grey without any doubt,” Baitz wrote in MetroFocus, prefacing his live interview with Grey.
