Little guy
I spent a pleasant chunk of today with my good friend Sondra Arkin making teeny tiny little pieces of art  - 5" x 7"- for the Art  Anonymous fundraiser for the Corcoran School of Art. Given my (at best) ambivalent feelings on the subject of the Corcoran (see April 4, below) let me add that I am doing this because my friend Philippa Hughes asked me and I always try to do everything that the fabulous Philippa asks. But I digress.

This is the Corc's description of the event: 

Art Anonymous
Sale and Reception Saturday, May 10, 6–11 p.m. in the North Atrium of the Corcoran Museum


The Corcoran Gallery of Art and FRIENDS of the Corcoran are proud to host their first Art Anonymous fundraiser, benefiting the Corcoran College of Art + Design’s BFA Scholarship Fund. Leading contemporary artists will offer for sale unique, postcard-sized works alongside the creations of students, faculty, and staff of the Corcoran College of Art + Design and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. All works are only $100—the catch: you do not know the identity of the artist until after the purchase.

So that officially makes me a Leading Contemporary Artist.

The piece reproduced here is not the piece I donated. I am abiding by the rules and keeping that one a big big secret. The little bitty piece here is another one that I made for me.
