Hey, how's your Friday going?
It came and went, nothing too exciting happened!
I don't know... In a way, I found Theirry to be a kind of genius, or idiot-savant. I think, on some level, he saw the game component of the art business and cut through all the nonsense to the ultimate goal: Wealth and celebrity.
If you think about it, what he did in the art world was not too different from his clothing business, where he'd buy pallets of clothes for $50 and sell individual pieces for $400. Genius!
Lastly, there are rumors that the whole film, and Theirry in particular, were complete fabrications.
In a way, I'm not sure I even care.
PS: I got to meet Shepard a while back. He created an amazing painting on a concrete wall in an alt art gallery. Unbelievably, it got painted over when the show ended. Ah well... it is the fragility of art. I suppose you've seen Rivers & Tides... I love that film. In fact, I need to watch it again.
Lastly, and I can't say exactly why, I thought you might enjoy this photo that I took a few years ago. You get some sort of virtual prize if you can guess where I took it... (not the location,specifically, but the associated event.)
There are a few other pix from the same event on my new art thread, linked in my sig.

What he did with the art was exactly like his clothing business and I would hardly call it genius. I just wrote out a few more sentences but they're just angry and I've deleted them so...going forward on to a different topic..
I have never seen Rivers and Tides but I'll be sure to add it to my list
At present I have no idea where that photo was taken but it reminds me of this festival/contest where people decorate their cars in an awesomely ridiculous manner and the participants generally dress up as well and prizes are awarded accordingly..
Thank you![]()
You are welcome!
Have a great week sweetheart
