Last week at Art Basel: Stuffy's, after overcoming my starstruckedness, I found the courage to invite Jerry Saltz to my studio. He graciously accepted!!
That is Libby in that painting he's studying! Jerry said he never misses a day checking Libby and Roberta's blog... and that "they are fantastic artists blazing new trails".
I totally agree!!!
I showed him all my friend's work, and he loved it all!
It looks like he is smiling here, doesn't it? Maybe the hint of a smile? I think he must like that painting -
but when I asked him what he thought... SILENCE.
Stare down.
Okay... I blinked. He got up on tip-toes, though. Very aggressive.
Seduced. Shalom, partner.
Oh Jerry, I don't care if you don't like Marlene Dumas.
Oh blessed jebus...
ReplyDeleteI knew Jerry wouldn't make the first move. Good for you, Martin!
ReplyDeletethis is the scariest post yet, Martin.
ReplyDeleteHo, Ho, Ho! Marry Christmas?
I can't believe you got that close to Jerry. I was trying to cozy up myself, but you got there first!
ReplyDeleteMan, I love these homoerotic posts!!!
ReplyDeletei need to comment that I have no comment.
ReplyDeletethis isn't photoshop, neither was the other one.
ReplyDeleteJerry & Mom both warned me about men with animal skin sheets.
ReplyDeleteLook at the shadow in the second picture - Jerry is REAL!
ReplyDeleteAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat said, Martin, you are so much better funny than you are bitter- I love it!
YOU ARE HILARIOUS! Kudos to you and your KISS
ReplyDeletethis is freakin' great!
ReplyDeleteI love it.
I just love it.
Congratulations, now you gots the AIDS!
ReplyDeleteMartin, this is EXCEPTIONALLY good. I couldn't love it more.
ReplyDeleteare you the carson of my dreams???
ReplyDeletehey! I was recently 'unfriended' by jerry on facebook! let me tell you !
ReplyDeleteHe posted his New York magazine article about the younger than jesus show. I suggested an 'older than god' show. some people laughed. then i thought wait, jerry is older than god! and i posted that but apparently he didn't find that very funny as he disappeared from my friends list within seconds.
does anyone else get the IRONY here? i know, i know - irony is SO gen x. But he is wondering why some of us feel a wee bit pissy about the premise of the show and then i bring HIS age into it and he unfriends me?!!??! People, am i crazy?
