HOLLYWOOD, 2008 - Gary Simmons
I’ve talked about Gary before, he’s a good friend, a great mentor, one of my favorite artists… add to that gossip news celeb.
A guest at one of Russell Simmons’ exclusive parties partially erased one of his chalkboard pieces worth $100,000 - that’s probably less than Kimora’s monthly velour allowance, but was enough to change the way Russell displayed his personal art collection, and land Gary in the NY Post, NY Daily News, even the antithesis of culture and art, Perez Hilton.

Steven and I are talking about the sometimes inevitable “oopsies” that happen regarding contemporary art. Makes me feel a little better about not being able to afford that Dan Colen piece I like so much, because my housekeeper (because I could afford one) might scrape the gum off thinking I just had really rude friends who don’t understand what the bottom of a coffee table is for.
