GalleryBeat with Tracey Emin @ Lehmann Maupin 2009

Tracey Emin and me go back a ways – and whatever people think of her work, they talk about it. And that is more important than merely puffing something up and moving on to the next neutered fashion. Ms. Emin has distinguished herself with a courageous exploration of psyche-exhibitionism and personal history that is done so deftly that she is a visible reminder that an artist can still make people pay attention. She’s done it, she hasn’t a thing to prove.

We still don’t get along, and she still talks to me anyway.

Beth B. Pussy Pictures at Deitch Projects

Ok the show was really called “Portraits and Playthings ” but everyone just called them the pussy portraits. An interesting fact of that opening was that all the people who had posed for Beth were THERE. Not much to say here except that Mr. Deitch had figured out that sex sells better than anything else, and a good job of it he’s certainly done. In order of appearances : Debbie Warner, Ronald Feldman, Peter Fend, unknown gent with shades, Jeffrey Deitch, and of course Mz. Beth B., artist and filmmaker. 1996 BTW – Damn fine show all around by one of NY’s best all around artists. Cut from a 30 minute GBTV devoted to Beth B. . Correction – Deborah Warner (first chat)
