Brett Gorvy, of Christie’s and private dealer Philippe Ségalot fought hard for their respective, anonymous  clients. Gorvy’s client won, with a price tag of $38.4 million for the sky blue 4-panel self portrait. For the New York Times story, click here.

Hot Maundy Thursday on Folsom

Posted on April 21, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Maundy Thursday is the movable feast that commemorates the last supper of Jesus Christ. Folsom Street Events is well known for its controversial posters – among other things. They topped themselves in 2007 with their depiction of a Last Supper attended entirely by perverts. Leathermen, queens, doggie-boys and bootblacks. A scandal ensued, natch. The Catholic League in particular was perturbed. No link to them: don’t need those particular pingbacks! For surprisingly sexy Palm Sunday processionals, click here.

Eric Robinson’s Leathermen

Posted on April 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Friend of this site Eric Robinson recently participated in Variations, a photography exhibit curated by Tommy Reyes of Las Manos Gallery in Chicago. Robinson is an antique process photographer. He works in wet plate collodion processes, producing one of a kind plates on glass, as well as tintypes and other antique photo technologies. In the summer of 2010, he visited San Francisco and Northern California where he produced Leathermen, the series that premiered in Chicago.

P. Raleigh of The Chicago Reader reviewed the exhibit: “Eric is able to present a quality of tenderness and everyday specialness not commonly attributed to such sexual “deviancy” by the mainstream audience. Eric will be a photographer to watch out for in the future…”

Robinson will be returning to California during the summer of 2011. More on him here, here and here. And more soon.

Goldfield Ghost Town’s Glory Hole and More

Posted on April 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Glory Hole Antiques, that is. An odd little junk shop with an open door, an interesting inventory, no price tags and no one in sight or within earshot. We put a few dollars in a jar for an old bottle and a small cannonball. Goldfield boomed in the early part of the century, following a 1903 bonanza strike, and was busy until 1940, after which it fell into decline. Few businesses are open or residences occupied now, with vacancy running about 90%. On U.S. Highway 95 in Nevada.
