Andy Warhol, Flowers and Florida

June 15, 2018

In May, Interview magazine closed its doors. It was a magazine founded by Andy Warhol and British journalist John Wilcock in 1969. Cue a recent trip to Florida where I was intrigued to discover a Warhol exhibit. The interesting part is that it was being held at a botanical garden. I was intrigued. I knew Warhol from his iconic Campbell's Soup Cans artwork and iconic Marilyn Monroe pieces, but flowers?

Yes. Flowers. The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, FL, created a must-see Warhol exhibit.

"Consummately cosmopolitan and cool, Andy Warhol in the great outdoors seems like an oxymoron," Marie Selby Botanical Gardens shared via their website. "Yet the groundbreaking artist known for his Pop Art multiples of celebrities and soup cans created more than 10,000 images of flowers over the course of his career."

The exhibit includes some art installations (not Warhol pieces) on the grounds, along with photographs of Warhol, from him fully dressed in a canoe (he was always in "character") to skiing to enjoying his Montauk home in New York, within the exhibit space. And of course, you get to see a curated selection of his floral artwork.

As someone who always found Warhol fascinating - his one-of-a-kind viewpoint, I really enjoyed this take on Warhol. It was a nice blend of gaining a bit more insight into Warhol the person, along with Warhol the artist.

The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens' "Warhol: Flowers In the Factory" exhibit runs through June 30.

Let’s Try “Intuitive Eating”

May 22, 2019

Have you noticed how much dining in or out has changed in recent years? First of all: everything has to be recorded on one’s phone. Then we have to listen to a litany of: a) I’m on a diet, b) no carbohydrates, c) I’m a vegetarian, d) no salt ever, e) white sugar is a killer, f) no peanuts ever.

Ad infinitum. Ad absurdum.

The Legendary Chateau Marmont, Part II

May 15, 2019

Now, let’s take a close look at what is one of the most important features of the Marmont. The short answer is: PRIVACY. The hotel never publicly discusses its famous guests or reveals the names of those currently staying there. In other words: zippered lips are stage center.
