Divorced From The World : RIP Taylor Mead

"I am the laziest person in the world, a drifter in the arts. I try not to get up. Minimal effort and maximum error. Not much different from what artists are doing now," NYC downtown legend Taylor Mead (1924-2013) told us two months ago in what might have been his last interview: Still painting and writing poetry, he died two days ago in NYC, so I guess Jocko Weyland was right when he wrote in an e-mail: "Taylor is part of the New York that is pretty much extinct. And will be extinct pretty soon." Sleep/Rest well, man. (rnk)
