James Rosenquist

I ran into Rosenquist a couple of months ago in Madison Avenue. I suppose he was heading to Aquavella, the famous gallery that represents his work. He didn't look at all like this video shows him, kind of tired and depressed. He was very much into conversation and sharing, positive and uplifting. I was surprised that a man of his stature would talk to me at all and with so much easy and naturalness. He told me some stories about sharing some tequila with some Cuban artists down in Florida; and some other stuff that I cannot remember. He was wearing khaki pants and a black t-shirt under a black jacket. He looked cool and young despite his age.
