Buy a Fake Basquiat, Support Real Art at LACE - Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions
By Ann Magnuson
Or nab a genuine Andrea Zittel smock! Or a real Vito Acconci lithograph! Or an original John Baldessari! Or an honest-to-God Paul McCarthy! Or a tried-and-true Sister Corita, Sherry Levine, George Stoll, or Jim Isserman! Or any one of over 100 original artworks by a galaxy of art stars from yesterday, today and tomorrow! Your big chance is tonight -- this Thursday, May 22 -- when all this art is up for auction at Re:PRESENT, LACE's 30th anniversary benefit/art auction that yours truly has been asked to emcee and perform at! (Details here.)
So pick up a pair of trashy, patent-leather, thigh-high platform boots on Hollywood Boulevard (where LACE currently resides) and climb aboard the Way Back Machine with my new character, The Time Traveling Hooker, as she takes you backwards, forwards and sideways through a brief history of time and LACE! (Find out why young girls were comin' to the canyon and gettin' the hell out of NYC long before it went to the Sex and the City clones!) Musical accompaniment will be provided by Kristian Hoffman, harpist Alexander Rannie and special appearance by Phranc! (With a performance earlier in the gallery by the ever adorable Will Power!)
Doors open to the public at 7 p.m. Will Power goes on at 7:30 and our show starts at 8 PM followed by a live auction!

Phranc's Art Show at CUE in NYC (With Free Hootenanny with Phranc & Ann!)
By Ann Magnuson
I am so happy to report that the flu I had for one terrifying week has abated and I will be winging my way east to support PHRANC at her first New York solo art show this Thursday Dec. 6 at the CUE Foundation gallery in fabulous Chelsea! (There must be one or two of you who aren't going to Miami!) CUE asked me to be one of their two guest curators for the month of December and I could think of no better artist to invite than PHRANC! (Read all about Phranc, her art and the show in my L.A. Woman column in the December issue of PAPER!)
See the fabulous and whimsical and socially relevant 3-D art from the Cardboard Cobbler, a.k.a. The Jewish Lesbian Folk Singer, a.k.a Tupperware Lady Legend, a.k.a All Around Great Gal, a.k.a Phranc!
