Last Thursday I was getting ready to go to David Zwirner for the Richard Serra opening when I happened to open instagram and see that Lee was giving a guided talk at the Drawing Center show. I hopped on my bike and made it to Soho not long after he started. Some nice insights on his early career and processes. Saturday I started at Al Diaz opening in LES (need to go back and spend more time with the work) and then over to Chelsea for Kaws opening. A lot of splatter on his usual iconography. Saturday I missed two friends events Matt Ellers block party and Kate and crews Landmark sorry guys!

Finally made it to The Drawing Center for the Kaw’s collection show. There’s a lot more to see but here’s some highlights. Can’t front he’s got good taste and pockets deep enough to get black book gold.

I’m lucky enough to know both these talented dudes to a degree but I still learned a lot and love this interview and it’s insights. Also here is the original short shot in ‘81.

This will be aired live on: https://www.youtube.com/user/perezartmuseummiami
