That looks like chihuli in the green jumpsuit on the bottom.

My husband and I are the two people in the lower right corner. We are leaning forward eagerly, listening to Gary, who is one of the very best art lecturers around!!

I'm Gary's sister and I'm not in the picture.
(Wish I was there!). I think that Gary is really cute when he talks about Art or practically anything. Our parents, however, were not so impressed when he went to San Francisco to be a professional hippie rather than a college student at University of Michigan. They liked the art school part better, though.

It's funny to find some of the connections this Struth photograph has made: the bottom photograph (gallery visitors looking at the Struth photograph of museum visitors) was taken in the Marian Goodman Gallery by a sculptor from Paris and a friend of Gary's named Jonathan Hirschfeld. Jonathan was amused to find Gary prominently featured in the center of the Prado quintyph for a price of a half million dollars! Gary's dealer, John Braseth of Woodside/Braseth Gallery, also discovered the Struth exhibition and was quite surprised to find one of his own artists serendipitiously included in the work of a major photographer. I wonder who else has been accidentally captured in these amazing photographs? I know I am in the photograph, but I'm not easily recognizable...

I am the woman with the red hair and pink sweater just to the left of Gary in the middle photograph - the closeup. You'll wonder why I have on reading glasses when looking at art. It is because I was constantly taking notes while listening to Gary. I couldn't write fast enough....he says so much that is so interesting that one doesn't want to forget. The days in the Prado with Gary "lecturing" were incredible! Even people not in our group gathered around.

Someone should send this page to Thomas Struth.
