Vezzoli's, seen in the above photo on the right with Miuccia Prada courtesy of art forum, has a new show. "Greed," which opened at Gogosian in Rome earlier this month, and sounds amazing from what The Diary says. The show opens with a commercial, that's right. Filmed by none other Roman Polanski and features Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman fighting over a perfume called, what else, Greed. Cathryn Drake who wrote the piece for art forum said that opinions about the commercial were mixed. And of course people compared it to Vezzoli's most famous work the trailer for Caligula, which I saw here in Toronto, at the Power Plant talk Vezzoli gave. Despite that, the show sounds right up my alley. And the after party sounded equally as amazing. Vezzoli has a great personal reputation, which I can personally confirm. He was a doll when Paul attacked him with star-studded awkwardness, by telling him that he could not miss Joan Crawford's bracelets on display at Yedessa's and then running off without another word. Anyway, I digress but I can only imagine he is as unassuming as always. The best part of the piece, and I bet, the party ,came at the end when Vezzoli handed out impromptu party gifts for the last revelers. The gift? A copy of the morning's International Herald Tribune covered in ad paper for Vezzoli's perfume Greed. OMG I need to see this commercial, and the prints.
