Last Night: Richard Hell @ The Strand, NYC

Caught Richard Hell giving a little talk about his new collaboration of drawings and prints with visual artist Christopher Wool, Psychopts.
For the past 20 years, Hell has been jotting down two word groupings, and in this visual project he and Wool bring 57 of those groupings together. Interesting concept. Good finish.
Hell was sharp and funny. When asked why he called this art and not poetry, his response "because you make more money when you call it art."
