Met and helped Camille Benton figure out the shuttles. She is from D.C. and curator for art in embassies program in the state department. She picks the art that goes in all of the U. S. embassies around the world.
Went to Art Miami saw Tracy Freeman who turned around and nodded. She has either a sixth sense or eyes in the back of her head.
Was able to see a couple Odd Nerdrums up close at the Forum gallery.
Went to Pulse.
While waiting in line to buy a water Suzanne Delehanty introduced herself. Then the man with her who later was identified as Charles Cowles rattled off all of her accomplishments. She was the founder of Miami Art Museum and five or so other museums. I found out at home by googling she was also the director of Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, Director of the Neuberger Museum in Purchase, NY. She said she had a nephew or someone born in Great Falls. She was with a man from the Charles Cowles Gallery of NY booth. By googling, I saw a picture identifying him as the Charles Cowles, currently gallery owner in NY and former publisher of Artforum, who called out hello Mister Smith each time I passed his booth later.
Had coffee with Mr. Rump at Pulse. He said he will look at my website when he got home. He was very happy with a jean purchase at Macy’s.
