I ran into Joe - my friend and former colleague at the DU Bookstore - this past Sunday at the Denver Art Museum's Mark Rothko exhibit. In addition to working at the Bookstore, Joe is a monotype artist and an instructor at the Art Students League of Denver. I tried to take a photo of Joe, but as soon as I got the camera out, a guard walked over and said it was not allowed. How insulting! Joe has every right to have his photograph taken. The guard mumbled something about background noise or background something, so we walked out to the exhibit's entrance and took the above photograph. The Rothko exhibit is really great, by the way, no matter what the museum thinks about Joe. Be sure to check out Joe's website at www.joehigginsmonotypes.com.
