AN ARTIST WHO LOSES HIS TOUCH
Before I even started writing up my experience with «Dynamo», I went back to see Julio Le Parc with Nicky. The experience was as strong as the week before and as usual when you see an exhibition for the second time, you see something else. Especially with cinetic art. You enter into it and there is little to understand if not «how on earth did he do it?».
Nicky liked it too.. My enthusiasm after the first visit and then «Dynamo» with Gianni a few days later gave me a lot to think about following a dinner party with Europeans and Argentinians. When I could get a word in, I finally started talking about Julio Le Parc. He had been a teacher of a guest attending the dinner party. The same guest had in his time been very famous, known around the world and then the company he was working for as an exclusive designer went broke and he lost everything. The Jeweler in question did not go broke because of the artist but for other reasons. It was relaunched a few years later
