SIMON CERIGO - I will miss you - R.I.P.
 |
| Simon talkn' the next this is that thing he does... |
Simon passed away this past Sunday, January 20th, 2013. He was 60. Still so young. I count Simon as a good friend. We shared many experiences from the active reaches of the New York artworld, where it seems there's always a good party after the one you've already found. And Simon would always know where it was.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
And there's always that show you and I did together. It was my first big show, and you made that happen for me, so of course, there's a word of thanks for that. And I remember how you told me, I saw Simon as I usually did, out at the big opening nights of artshows and he said to me come for a ride. He had his friend with him, Bernd Nabe who is known as much for his own personality as the junker convertable that he rides around town. It was January and the night was unusually balmy as explains the convertable. We were headed downtown, to another art party and on the West Side Highway is how Simon delivers the news to me of his show that he's putting together with me in it to open in 2 months time. He had a swell sense of timing. But what's more, we had some excellent walks and chats and visits and all that. Some quite bleary-eyed, and us the better for it.

Also, the museum is home to some ecclectic artists of art history, like Max Klinger, who painted a pissing skeleton! Anyone, anyone?
