The young sounding curator who called me was deferential. I admit I
can get off on that.
"Most curators wanted to be artists, but were too stupid," Lewis used to
say. When his work was rejected.
Sid owns his own gallery. "I am not giving you this show because I desire your body," he said to me
before my first one person exhibition in 1954. "I am giving you this
show because the work merits it."
Ironically, even though I was sitting in his lap at the time, I knew that
he meant it.
