Keith Bright, Fernando Stickel, and Jay
Marten Tonnis sent me this photograph. Here's a rough translation of the caption, which was originally in Portugese. (Thank you, Google translate!) The author, I believe, is Fernando Stickel.
Keith Bright, I and my dear friend,
Jay Chiat. The photo is from 1985, in Cap d'Antibes, France.
This year I lived in New York and Jay invited me
(along with several other friends) to go for season
Festival in Cannes advertising films,
and the birthday party of 50 years of Keith.
My friend Jay Chiat in his apartment in Venice, California 1985. I spent some days with him, was an excellent host. One day he said: "Fernando I'm not going to use the car tomorrow, you want to use it?" Of course I accepted right away, and the next day I rode about 400 miles from Los Angeles, nothing short of a black Porsche 944. Great Jay!
In the apartment of my late friend Jay Chiat in New York, June 1983.
It was the first time I've seen outside a museum staff, major
as this heart of Jim Dine. The photos are from Paula Dip, who found the chest and sent me, thanks!
