Just when the New York Times was reaching a long streak of error free innnings about things LA, they drop a seriously easy infield out - big time - in their 'Boite' article about the restaurant Dominick's:
"Over in the corner the installation artist Jennifer Steinkamp had come with a dozen friends from her art opening at Acme gallery in West Hollywood."
Acme?
In... West Hollywood?
Well, Acme - once called Food House - has been in several places (more if you count Robert Gunderman's first downtown LA effort - Opus as one of its ancestors), but none of them had been in - or are in - West Hollywood. The famed gallery long owned by Robert - don't ever call me Bob - Gunderman and Randy Sommer is presently the keystone tenant at the famed 6150 Wilshire complex just down the street from LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) - in the heart of Los Angeles' Miracle Mile.
Now this is the type of gaffe one would expect to find in the LA Times... but in the New York Times?
Shocking!

I didn't think anyone remembered Opus... back in the day when Robert Gunderman was still really crazy. I remember once when we were playing golf... but this is a family blog....
wasn't Opus was a front for something else...
"back in the day when Robert Gunderman was still really crazy?"
he is crazy - the guy is a sociopath
we all have Bob stories, some of them much longer than a round of golf.
i went to college with bob gunderman, he is a full whako! and his work sucks as well!
A #1 -The fact that 'Bob' - I mean ROBERT Gunderman played golf always struck me as being unlikley as Andy Warhol sleeping with Pat Buckley.
A #2 - A front for what? Anarchists who wear plaid?
A #3 Full wacko, yes. But I loved his early work - with his poodle period being a particular favorite of mine.
ASK BOB...WHERE'S GREY KITTY?
