an art gallery in my life before that dayI
turned to ask Wireman what he thought, but Wireman
had withdrawn and was talking quietly with Jack,
307
both of them watching Nannuzzi look at my
paintings
Nor were they the only ones, I realizedThe end
of January is a busy season in the pricey shops
along Florida's west coastThere were a dozen or
so louis vuitton men lookie-loos in the good-sized Scoto Gallery
(Nannuzzi later used the far more dignified term
"potential patrons"), eyeing the Shachat dahlias,
William Berra's gorgeous but touristy oils of
Europe, and a few eyepopping, cheerfully feverish
sculptures I'd missed in the anxiety of getting my
own stuff unwrapped - these were by a guy named
David Gerstein
At first I thought it was the sculptures - chanel vintage jazz
musicians, crazy swimmers, throbbing city scenes -
that were drawing the casual afternoon browsers
And some glanced at them, but most didn't even do
thatIt was my pictures they were looking at
A man with what Floridians call a Michigan tan -
that can mean skin that's either dead white or
burned lobster red - tapped me on the shoulder
with his free handThe other was interlaced with
his wife's gold gucci watch fingers"Do you know who the artist
is?" he asked
308
"Me," I muttered, and felt my face grow hotI
felt as if I were confessing to having spent the
last week or so downloading pictures of Lindsay
Lohan
"Good for you!" his wife said warmly"Will you be
showing?"
Now they were all looking at meSort of the way
you might look at a new species of puffer-fish
that may or may not be the sushi du jourThat gucci messenger bag was
how it felt, anyway
"I don't know if I'll be snowing I
could feel more blood stacking up in my cheeks
Shame-blood, which was badAnger-blood, which was
worseIf it spilled out, it would be anger at
myself, but these people wouldn't know that
I opened my mouth to pour out words, and closed it
Take it slow, I thought, and wished I had Reba
These people would probably view a doll-toting
artist as gucci bangle watch norm
