"Dwelling in the resplendent squalor of Wong's apartment is precisely the experience the curators Sean Corcoran and Carlo Mc­Cormick recreate in City as Canvas, an accounting of Wong's huge personal trove and its place in history, with reflections on the man by his artist friends." The New York Times
