However, I believe he is an overrated artist and who wanted to exploit whatever fame he could achieve by selling very poor quality art in massive quantities. He displayed too much low quality art on his store; any good artist who respects hit own art would not dare to sell low quality art to the public.

I was witness to the shockingly antisemitic 'art' he installed in his shop. Unbelievably there were a bunch of tourists eating it up like it was some kind of inspired bohemian vision. Not sure what kind of 'dreams' he is referring to, but I imagine they are not the kind of dreams progressive or decent people would be interested in becoming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-9066822169289254432011-09-29T22:33:40.950-04:002011-09-29T22:33:40.950-04:00I stopped by one day after seeing the "Jews O...I stopped by one day after seeing the "Jews Only" signs on the chairs outside the "museum". As a Jew, I felt ashamed because (not knowing the place) I had mistakenly and I guess foolishly thought that the guy who put them there was Jewish and that he was making an ass of himself for some unknown reason.<br /><br />Well, after preparing myself to argue with some stupid bigoted fellow Jew, I asked what was up with those signs and the reply: "I don't know". / "What do you mean you don't know, didn't you put them there? What's that about?" / "I don't know." / "Well then who would know?" / "Ask at Mogador, the waitresses there know."<br /><br />WTF. I walked over to Mogador, looked at the menu, realized it was probably a Jewish-owned restaurant, had a Eureka! moment and walked away glad that the asshole I had just spoken to was not a Jew and that his "museum" would soon be gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-4178278775503511082010-09-13T21:18:06.448-04:002010-09-13T21:18:06.448-04:00I MISS YOU EVEN WHEN WE’RE CLOSE — DE LA VEGAI MISS YOU EVEN WHEN WE’RE CLOSE — DE LA VEGAnycdesignerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04913897522696843538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-21457942984751649152010-08-14T12:14:06.170-04:002010-08-14T12:14:06.170-04:00Or Fro-Yo.
