Phew, I'm back. And here, with a big Ta Da, is a Polaroid portrait of Keith Haring by Andy Warhol. When I was at the Foundation I spent an afternoon helping with the monumental task of sorting through hundreds if not thousands of shoe boxes full of Polaroids Andy took, primarily at Studio 54. The day I was on the project we were separating men from women. We were in a room the size of my apartment and once the box had been divided up by the sex and repacked accordingly, the women went on one side of the room and the men on the other. Those boxes would later be separated by race and age, with a sub-category for drag queens, who apparently were are all black or Latino.
