Grand Opening yesterday at Block. This is a rather poor shot of the Atrium, since I was shooting instead of one of my assistants.

Great party. 2000 people. Artists and Block Associates everywhere. I had to give umpteen tours of the collection, shake 1400 hands, and talk myself hoarse (though my wife claims that’s impossible).

The point is, everyone had a great time, and everyone was ecstatic about the art. No matter what a person’s taste, they all found something that juiced them. That pleases me, just as much as watching the artists and the associates mingle. Art isn’t exclusively for the privileged, the snobbed, the supposed elite. By god it’s for everyone. More interesting that way. Better impact on society as well.
