[AGL] Michael Tracy

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Frances,

did you know him?  madelon & i sublet his 6th street studio while
he was in Mexico. later on Hans Otto acquired this weird wonderful
studio above a Negro bar and pool hall and gambling den.

do you know his art style? you mentioned Michael Tracy's semen
in a painting. This is so Michael Tracy. As the New York Times
explained in a review about him, there are enough rich homosexual 
lapsed Roman Catholics art collectors to make Michael Tracy a
successful entrepreneur.

Remind me to tell you some time about John Maronney's midnight rescue
of Michael who was on the point of being cut by 2 rough trades he
had brought home with him from the Galveston tenderloin. John
had a studio next to Michael's in that wonderful old building on the
Strand. Luckily for Michael the wall between the studios didnt go
all the way up to the 16 foot ceiling. John was woken up out of a
dead sleep by Michael yelling for help. When he clambered up the
wall he saw Michael standing on a table with two hispanics dancing
around the table with their knives out. When they saw John's face
appear above the wall, they split.
