They say that NY is always a step ahead when it comes to fashion and art.  But how come the ever popular Mary Boone Gallery in NY looks like it has gone back in time?  I think it is great to see what big time galleries have on their walls.  Art is such a silly thing.  I think that either of these paintings would be laughed at or ignored if it were on a wall at let's say...C Pop or  555 ???
