opening night

We had close to 400 people come.

400!

400!

I took as many pictures as I could of a LOT of people walking around, and being in art rooms. I'm told a lot of stuff has sold. I hope so.

Ok, so I've had at least 6 hrs/of sleep a night the last 2 nights, but I spent 7 hrs at the Convent on Wed, about 12 hours hanging on Thursday, and 12 hrs there tonight (knocking off, mentally, around 6 - 4 hrs before leaving - b/c I just was tired of trying to do the right things and it started to feel too much like work), so I feel exhausted anyway. I'm going to bed.

Hope to have pix as soon as I can bring my camera in and download the pix.

I responded specifically that I wasn't good at fixng things

Still, I am very sweet.

Well, I'll bet Greg is really happy he isn't this guy

Greg & Beth, friends of ours, were at the art opening last night. They were admiring a piece when Greg, holding a beer in his hand, went to adjust it. Spilled beer on it, which seeped through the glass and onto the matte.

So, they purchased it. Fortunately, it was only $50.

Not the same exact story for Steve Wynn. He was working on a deal for selling his Picasso, Le Reve (1932). Le Reve is considered one of Picasso's greatest works, and is also one of his outstanding pieces in his outstanding period of late 20s-early 30s (the "good" Marie-Therese years). While Wynn was talking about the piece in his office in front of his friends, he gesticulated abruptly and put his elbow through it; apparently, he put a hole in the damned thing. Ruined the sale, and probably brought the price of the piece down. He'll get it conserved, but still, that's got to suck. Oh, and I should mention that Wynn was arranging to sell the Picasso for, you know, $139 million. A little more than $50.

I heard this last night while going to sleep, and had to think of Greg's experience earlier that same evening. Damn, if I knew his wife's e-mail address, I'd send her the link.
