I wanted to call this post "OMG, we met Chuck Close!!!!" but Jeremy had a cleverer title. That's right, tonight on the street, we met one of Jeremy's great art heroes! Chuck Close is an amazing painter and photographer who had a huge show at the Walker this past year. He happened to roll by us while we were hanging out on the street after gallery openings in Chelsea. Jer nudged me and said, "Chuck Close is coming down the sidewalk!" Of course, being the assertive gal I am, I trailed him and asked if I could take his photo. He was very gracious. What a night!

it's super cool that you guys met Chuck Norris, but he's looking a bit rough wouldn't you say? I'm mean that dude doesn't look like he could karate chop a carrot let alone a bad guy. I guess I didn't know he was a famous pseudonymous artist. Sweet...
