"Millionaire’s
Soul"
perished sponge rubber soles, brown
laces, studio paint wipes and decayed leather uppers
Shoes
belonging to Gavin’s millionaire friend, Jan
Wenner, which he stole from him on 53rd and 6th
in New York in a heavy rainstorm, during a shopping
expedition for new shoes. Gavin promised to turn
them into a work of art. He then sold them back
to Mr Wenner for a dollar on a coat hanger, at the
25th Anniversary Party to celebrate the Birth of
Gonzo. He tried to auction them off to one of the
rich guests but received only one bid, from Mr Wenner
himself, for one dollar. |
