| February 25, 1992 2:00PM Legendary Beats... Peter Orlovsky, Herbert Huncke, Allen Ginsberg and Gregory Corso arrive for a group portrait. Raymond Foye, eminence grise, helps with the details. Allen recites a poem and spontaneously the room erupts with poem after poem. Soon beer and weed... and the moment lasts for hours.
September 29, 1995 1:00PM Allen Ginsberg for portrait with young poets Elliot Katz, Geoffrey Manaugh, and David Greenberg. Musician Steve Taylor drops by too. Gregory Corso arrives at 3:00. I put him in a black Armani raincoat to cover his white shirt which is blowing out on the black and white film. Note: Upcoming Whitney Show curated by Lisa Phillips about the beat influence on jazz, film, art, and photography opens in early November. The beat goes on.
March 22, 1981 4:30PM Larry Rivers for artists of the 50's in the 80's series. 11x14 camera. One light. He had just returned from Mexico with a great tan, the best makeup possible. We talk about abstract painting and jazz sax. |
