    Now that is hysterical! truly. But that is not Tony F.
    is it??? He doesn’t look like his art.
    However, I did buy two of his works when he exhibited at Bridgewater/Lustberg in NYC in the 90′s.

    Great fun and piquantly witty So many galleries and gallerists pride themselves on being snooty. This video is a wonderful antidote to that. Bravo!

    Next time- more leather jackets, with cold steel and goons. I volunteer. Also, make the artist more of a “Prince” type, you know, smaller than Tony, but with a real Bronx posse! Ha! That will show ‘em!

    Chi in the house.

    Subtle, hehehehe!

    Truly brilliant Tony (oh yeah, that is the one and only Mr. Fitzpatrick himself).

    Tony Fitzpatrick is fantastic in this, In fact, I think he makes the episode. I had no idea he had acting talent.

    Technical snafu aside (camera. sound. lighting) , I thought this was amazingly well done. The idea is hysterical. The gallery owner’s character and the snootiness of the director of the gallery set an amazing tone, but Tony rocked it

    Rude, crude – completely unreal. A pure fantasy. Eh. (Speaking as an artist/painter.) Unless you can get away with that shit in NYC.

    I gotta change my approach to galleries! I agree with Reifel “if I had only known…” Well done, how are you going to top this one? I’ll be watching!!

    My daughter and I came in to see the seven deadly sin globes and you kindly mentioned your comedy series. Thank you; I’m laughing and having fun watching them. I think you should forward your series to Larry David; I bet he’d enjoy them!

    If Larry David did a series about the Chelsea art world, THIS would be it. Watched season one in the video booth at Art Basel Miami Beach. Loved it…and so did my 8 year old daughter!
