SEE: JOHN GIORNO AT ELIZABETH DEE GALLERY

Harlem Bespoke:  Many uptown might know that the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone lives in a renovated Harlem church off of Fifth Avenue but may not be aware that notable Harlem resident is married to the legendary poet John Giorno.  Mister Giorno has been around since the 60s and notably had a love affair with Andy Warhol who made an infamous 5 hour film called Sleep which featured his then young paramour doing just that.  Now the Elizabeth Dee Gallery on Fifth Avenue and 126th Street will be debuting an exhibit starting September 19th which will feature more painted words of the New York art scene icon.  This will surely be one of the must-see presentations for the fall season but those who want more of the background story should check out the recent Village Voice article on John Giorno: LINK
