BILLY SULLIVAN HAS A SHOW AT KAUFMANN REPETTO until April 30
Billy Sullivan is a painter who is obsessed with his and other people's dogs. I met Billy last summer with his husband Klaus at Malcolm Morley's house for dinner. We didn't talk dogs but we will from now on.
Cindy Sherman does not have a dog
But she does have a 24 year old parrot called mister Frieda. I was beyond flattered when she sent me pictures of her parrot after I mentioned my dog website; not to mention that Cindy is one of my most favorite photographers out there right now. Girl crush.
William Wegman does know how to make a bed
Or at least he did make it while I was there at the studio that day. So, I was nervous before the visit, that I might be the only dog owner in the world to have dogs, well not really, that like to jump up on people. It was just not so. Wegman's dogs do the same thing and his dogs are bigger than my dogs. This is what he says about two of them, "Topper is the biggest trouble maker. He sometimes bites Flo's back leg when Flo is introducing herself to visitors. He barks a lot. But he's a great dog." I loved being able to go meet the dogs.
