Political Art is the Best

Great exhibit of work from the 1980s and ’90s by the AIDS activism arts collective Gran Fury at NYU’s 80WSE Gallery.

Most of it was street art.  You’d be walking along and all of a sudden—Pow!—you’d be confronted with these incredibly forceful images and text.

I remember.

Art Dish

Famed British artist Damien Hirst’s collection of  “spot” paintings, currently on sale for big prices at Gagosian galleries worldwide, has been denounced by many critics as a lazy, cynical attempt to make a buck.

Whatever the case, I do like the design.

So imagine my delight when I discovered these Hirst-like plastic plates while Bingo shopping at 99¢ stores in Jackson Heights.

Everything tastes better on polka dots!

YOKO YOKO YOKO YOKO and me

Goodness gracious!  Last night I crashed attended Yoko Ono’s 79th rollicking birthday party at Le Poisson Rouge!

She looks fantastic and gave a great performance—Absolute proof that a lady can be vital and creative at any age!

My five-foot-away shot of the legend that is Yoko Ono!

The club was fantastically decorated including tree branches dangling with messages of world peace.

There was also an incredible hall of mirrors!

Rufus Wainwright gave a captivating performance with his sister Martha.

Among the guests were artist Terrence Koh.

Bigwig curator Klaus Biesenbach of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Me and Sean Lennon! He played DJ for much of the night and many of the guests were his friends.

What an amazing opportunity to celebrate the Queen Mother of the Avant-Garde!
