The Emperors Club Whored Artists, Too

For me it IS the pleasure of the act and the object itself. I guess that's why I never graduated from whore to "art buyer".

The thing is, you only got four hours with the artwork before it hopped in a cab.

@yetimike: Perhaps the art in question is primarily thousands of reenactments of 'Seed Bed' ?

With interludes for "Meat Joy."

They told me that blow-up from the Tijuana 8-Pager with Popeye doing Olive Oil was a Lichtenstein. Lying bastards!

The best service that the Emperor's House has is their Gold Membership Exclusive Office Supplies Division. For a $25,000 yearly fee, they'll bring you staples and tape whenever you need it.

(Heavy breathing) I'm calling about your rates for the "Double O'Keefe"...

@mladen: Whoops! I was close, at least. And I have a feeling you're right in your speculation.

Wonder what diamond-level of membership qualifies you to bid on witnessing Dash Snow blow himself.

@flossy: Allen Jones' mannequin set dates from 1969. It was the inspiration for the milkbar furniture in A Clockwork Orange.

I figure it's a sure thing that the Koons and Wyeth works being offered were (respectively) a Cicciolina and a Helga. A really niiice Helga. Nothin' nice about Signora Staller.

For the most discerning Emperor's Club art patrons, British Pop Artist Allen Jones's early '70s living room set (chair, table, coat-rack) made from lifelike nude mannequins in fetish gear:

I think that if I were a prostitute, I would incorporate art into sex by letting men play Connect-the-Dots with my freckles.

How much to pee into Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain?"

"For three bills, you got the works: A thin Jewish brunette would pretend to pick you up at the Museum of Modern Art, let you read her master's, get you involved in a screaming quarrel at Elaine's over Freud's conception of women, and then fake a suicide of your choosing - the perfect evening, for some guys. Nice racket. Great town, New York."
--Woody Allen, "The Whore of Mensa"
