~CARROLL DUNHAM: all in the family !!

caught the CARROLL DUNHAM opening at BARBARA GLADSTONE last night.
and, you know what ?
the big, bad, bold, colorful, and downright raunchy paintings – were fab !!

I heard it was an auspicious full moon last night – ripe for changing opinions and set ways – so, I’m on it !!
doing 360s on every level . . . .

yep, for sure … caught CARROLL DUNHAM, his daughter LENA .. aka the It Girl !!
her mom, photographer LAURIE SIMMONS, and, of course … the ‘little’ sis, GRACE … at the opening !!
