	Decisive Moments: Photographs from the Collection of Cherye R. and James F. Pierce Dec 18 - June 8, Honolulu Museum of Art, 900 S. Beretania St., all ages. Jim and Cherye Pierce’s vast collection of classic and contemporary photographs get another exhibition at the Honolulu Museum of Art—2003’s In Celebration of Light featured 116 black-and-white prints from their stockpile of such photographers as Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Diane Arbus. This exhibition takes it a little further. “We wanted to focus on the contemporary aspects of the [Pierce] collection while working in some of their classic works,” says curator James Jenson. Pieces from William Eggleston, Mona Kuhn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Daido Moriyama, and Soo Kim are featured, among others. The title, “Decisive Moments”, references Henri Cartier-Bresson’s seminal 1952 book, The Decisive Moment: “There is nothing in this world that does not have a decisive moment,” he wrote. In conjunction with this exhibition, HMA is holding four other exhibitions, Critters! (animal pictures), an exhibition of photographs by cinematographer Karl Struss, botanical photographs, and surrealism, as well as programs and lectures with visiting speakers.
