JAMES TRUMAN, who quit his multi-million dollar post at Conde Nast,
\nlast SPRING 2005, after SI NEWHOUSE killed his personal pet project, an
\nart magazine, of all things, (which had all us freelancers with any talent, all
\nexcited & then devestated when it got dropped), “just got hired by …
\nLOUISE MacBAIN to oversee her LTB Holding Company’s stable of 100+
\nperiodicals worldwide, including Art+Auction, Museums, etc as well as artinfo.com”
\n– PAGE SIX.
\nHe said, at the time that he quit, when he supposedly left to ride off into
\nthe blue horizon, or was it Spain, forever, that maybe it was just as well,
\nbecause he couldn’t see doing & getting away with, hi-end product placement
\nwith cutting edge artists. <\/p>\n
but maybe the man who dreamed up DOMINO & LUCKY can successfully
\npose up and coming young artists with million dollar watches,
\nand get away with it. CORY ARCANGEL could wear a million dollar watch,
\neven MICHAEL MAHALCHICK could get away with that,
\nthough actually what I’d really like to see is one on
\nIAN VANEK of JAPANTHER !!! Watches aren’t so bad – its the thought
\nof a LOUIS VUITTON bag on JESSICA CIOCCI of Paper Rad,
\nala JENNIFER LOPEZ – that really scares me !!!
\nbut …. YO!! artlovers will take some LOUIS VUITTON product placement. <\/p>\n
