I GUESS I AM PUBLISHED

Earlier this year I spent several days photographing Bill Jacklin in his studio. Actually I was photographing his paintings for the Marlborough Gallery. Once the inventory photographs were done, Bill went back to work and I continued to photograph while we talked. Bill can talk and work quite well.

The inventory helped the gallery decide which paintings would be exhibited and how. This show took place in February in New York. I photographed the opening as well.

I had great fun taking all the photographs. Even more pleased that my photograph of Bill ended up in the book Interviews with Artists 1966-2012 written by Michael Peppiatt.

 

VALENTINE’S DAY IN NEW YORK

Bill Jacklin, a friend, had an opening at the Marlborough Gallery in New York on Valentine’s Day. Great fun and a wonderful exhibit. We made our trek to New York an expedition of sorts. We visited the Hispanic Society,(w 155th st) something that had been on my list for years. If you read the news in New York, we were on the subway in Hamilton Heights only moments before the shooting. I suppose  for New Yorkers a typical day.

The next day a whirlwind tour on the Metropolitan Museum to visit the piece of pottery that we had discovered and alerted the museum to it’s existence. We had not seen it since it had been placed in the collection (the American Wing)
