Gallery Opening (Continued)

Bianca and Tony Portago look really in love. This started over the holidays. C.Z.’s son, Alexander Guest was there.  Giorgio Sant’Angelo, Sylvia Miles, Ronee Blakley, Francesco Scavullo and Sean Byrnes, Irving Blum and Charles Cowles.  Moet Chandon champagne. The Soho News guy Michael Goldstein was there, being awful. I gave Jed money to entertain at dinner afterwards because I had to go up to John Richardson’s.

I was disappointed with John Richardson’s because it was oldies.  Marion Javits, Francoise and Oscar de la Renta, Marella Agnelli, Babe Paley - I guess she really was a beauty once. Babe and Marella raved to me about my paintings, they’d seen the show on Saturday.

Sat next to Marion Javits.  She told me how happy she was about Clay Felker losing New York magazine last week to Rupert Murdoch. Felker’s the one who exposed her Iranian connection last year.

Catherine and Victor arrived for after-dinner. Victor had glued parts of his shirt together.

Nima Isham’s mother and father came to the opening, and I couldn’t believe it - here they were back from their daughter’s wedding in Haiti that past weekend and Bob still isn’t back yet!
