Fifth Ave. Art Scene

There is something obscene about an auction house (Sotheby's) sponsoring an exhibition (Gilbert & George, who, in the early years, called themselves George & Gilbert—why did they change?) at a museum (the de Young).

Then again, there's something obscene about Gilbert & George, and I don't mean the stuff that prompts a "warning" at the entrance. I mean, the repetitiveness of their work for the last umpteen years.

I was in no mood for obscenity as I walked home along Fifth Ave.
