Yeah, too easy to dox for sure but I’m being vague in a way that it could be hard enough. 15 years ago you could look me up but the internet pushed me to the very bottom of any searches in recent years. I even had pages bookmarked that are completely gone now. It appears the internet is only forever in some cases.
The art world is crazy but you don’t hear of many new breakout household names like back in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
To this day, Hollywood is way worse as far as the “casting couch” is concerned.
Side note. It’s interesting that Fort Knox is being highlighted so much in recent days. They should audit the museums. Back in the early 90s I know of a few museums who were hiring kids out of college to “repair” damaged artwork. To do so they’d have the apprentice re-create a particular piece of art before they were allowed to touch or do a repair on a piece. Sometimes taking months if not a year to paint a carbon copy. Well, it’s a known fact that some of the most prestigious pieces hanging in museums around the world are indeed copies and not the original for “security” reasons. There is a much speculated rumor that there’s a dark truth to these original pieces of art being sold on the black market into private collections for obscene amounts of money and what people see hanging on the walls are recreations. Not all artwork but some.
