thedarksiren2A huge party was thrown at Jeff Koon's New York Studio in
1998 to honor the memory of the late, great American artist
Nat Tate, the troubled abstract expressionist who ruined 99
percent of his own work before jumping to his death from the
Staten Island ferry. At the party David Bowie read selec-
tions from William Boyd's soon-to-be released biography of
Tate, "Nat Tate: An American Artist, 1928-1960." Critics in
the audience murmured comments about Tate's work as they
enjoyed their drinks. The only problem was that Tate never
really existed - he was the satirical creation of William
Boyd. Bowie, Boyd, and Boyd's publisher were the only ones
in on the joke. - c/o BIZARRE NEWS
This so has my mind reeling...muuuaaahahahaaaa!!!
Just...lovely!
