Philip Johnson built the Brick House next to the Glass House, and quickly converted it from a 3br guest house to a sex shack. It has never been open to the public, but it's been restored now to its butch boudoir glory, so you can visit, and if you're rich, you can stay the night. Spencer Bailey has the hilariously arch scoop for Town & Country.

The Guggenheim Museum bought back Brancusi's Muse in 1985, after years of litigation and out of a vortex of the worst art world murder and torture cases this side of Ana Mendieta. The dealer who got away with everything but the tax evasion, Andrew Crispo, died in February 2024, three weeks after Carl Andre.

Josef Koudelka made surreptitious photos of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, which were smuggled out of the country. This image from January 1969 is of a public mourning of the death of Jan Palach, a 21-year-old student who set himself on fire in the center of Prague. It is crushing af to see this now in the wake of Aaron Bushnell's own self-immolation, in my country, not far from my house.

purple forever 💜

In 1985 Mike Kelley photographed images in a Rothko catalogue and printed them extra purple, for reasons involving drama, blood, the Rothko Chapel, art world reverence, and the Shroud of Turin.

Elton John's set of the photos, titled More Tragic! More Plangent!...More Purple! is selling in Feb 2024 at Christie's. He had it in his Atlanta condo. Johns's edition is up top, seen without the frames, or the janky keystoning that was part of Kelley's whole point. So I also included the image, framed, from Sotheby's, which sold another set from the edition in 2022.
