\"Richard
\nRICHARD BELZER aka DET. JOHN MUNCH – tries to get to the bottom of the smoke & mirrors, not to mention the VIAGRA-laden waterfall – running down the long entry stairwell – at TONY SHAFRAZI GALLERY. ok ok GAVIN BROWN & URS FISCHER have rocked the island – AGAIN !! . . . . but ROB PRUITT’S ‘Viagra Falls’ stole the show !! (first posted\/home page 5\/13\/2008) <\/p>\n

‘WHO’S AFRAID OF JASPER JOHNS?’
\nA SHOW CONCEIVED BY URS FISCHER & GAVIN BROWN
\nMAY 9 – JULY 12, 2008
\nTONY SHAFRAZI GALLERY – 544 WEST 26 STREET – CHELSEA, NY<\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nURS FISCHER, ALEX ZACHARY, and GAVIN BROWN at the opening.
\n . . conceived is the right word – how to explain it, is another !!
\ntake one big part trompe l’oeil “wallpaper” of SHAFRAZI’S previous show, (‘FOUR FRIENDS’) – by URS FISCHER; an integrated display of several hand picked GAVIN BROWN gallery artists; a sprinkling of hi-lites from PETER BRANT’S blue chip collection; and a light hearted hand painted pink and blue scroll by LILY VAN der STOKKER – and you begin to get the picture… but you gotta go see it = to believe it.<\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nTONY SHAFRAZI and LOU REED.<\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nwho’s real and who isn’t ?
\nRIRKRIT TIRAVANIJA, who has work in the show, with SHAFRAZI security, ANTONIO VARGAS.<\/p>\n

\"gavin
\nwhat’s real and what isn’t ?
\nand, yes that’s a FRANCIS BACON in the middle.<\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nLILY VAN der STOKKER, of the pink & blue … Buh !
\njust the right touch to make sure this heavyweight conception takes flight !!<\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nROB PRUITT constructed a waterfall down the long entry stairs. if you want the 21st C equivalent of LSD in the lemonade pitcher – grab a handful of this rushing water – its got over 1,000 crushed VIAGRA pills in its coursing stream. <\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nROB PRUITT’S – ‘VIAGRA FALLS’ !!<\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nROB PRUITT’S – 2 story ‘VIAGRA FALLS’ – greets and astounds, when you enter & when you leave !! <\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nPETER BRANT – his face says it all – !!
\nand that’s before – this week’s hugely successful auction results starting rolling in.<\/p>\n

\"Gavin
\nSIMON de PURY. likewise. in fact, he was overheard saying that: “this was one of the best shows he had ever seen” – and, that’s saying a lot.
\nSIMON de PURY is head honcho of PHILLIPS de PURY & COMPANY\/the auction house.<\/p>\n
