Jerry Saltz @jerrysaltz To Andrea Bowers, Kreps Gallery, Gianni Jetzer: It is a *must* - imperative - that all the abused pictured in this work gave their *expressed permission* to use their image first to the artist, the gallery & the curator. Otherwise this work needs to be removed at once & NFS. helen @helen cool that my f------ photos and trauma are heading art basel thx for exploiting us for "art ANDREA BOWERS @unavailabl DO YOU KNOW HOW F------ INSANE IT IS TO FIND OUT MY BEAT UP FACE AND BODY ARE ON...
