Herbert Gentry at the Parish Gallery

For those of us who weren’t able to make the opening of  "Six of Six," a group show which features five paintings by Herbert Gentry, Washington D.C. photographer and blog reader, Elvert Barnes, has come to our rescue.  Upon learning about the exhibit, he stopped by the Parish Gallery and took a few photos of Mr. Gentry’s paintings, including the photo on the left. Mr. Gentry’s work is on display until July 18. 

Not surprisingly, while at the exhibit, Elvert ran into another fellow, Fred Rotondaro, who was eager to share his memories of the Chelsea Hotel. "Immediately, Mr. Rotondaro would reflect on his memories of the Chelsea Hotel, when in the 60's he attended NYU and if my memories serves me correctly dated several girls who stayed at the Hotel Chelsea. Or, perhaps, it was more that, when dating several girls he and they would visit the hotel together."  We're waiting for Elvert to get the rest of the story!
