By: - Jun 22nd, 2025The basics for writing are cheaper. I could hold them all and my five-box life in my arms at the same time. But then it would all simply be an exercise in self-entertainment or personal therapy. Somewhere along the line writing requires others. Readers for a start. Even if they are imagined. Then publishers would be a nice touch. Again, even if that is self-publishing.

Fast Eddy Rubin at 84 Front Page
Astounding NY Theatre and Arts Critic
By: - Jun 16th, 2025Colleague and friend Edward Fast Eddy Rubin was astounding and incorrigible. He was a regular contributor to Berkshire Fine Arts. Though he enjoyed getting comped he was slow to submit reviews often just when shows were about to or already had closed. He was the leader of our pack with unflinching panache and humor. The moniker came early on when he worked for a PR firm. He was dispatched with orders "Eddy, quick go here or there and do this or that." His promptness in executing these commands identified him as Fast Eddy. This obit is written by New Orleans based critic and ATCA member Alan Smason.

Sleeping with Rothko
By: - Jun 15th, 2025I recall you always taking photos of yourself in these photo booths, often with staff and friends from the restaurant. Or with whoever happened to be with you at the time. Whenever we were on the metro together, changing metro lines or exiting, you would see a booth and suddenly track straight toward it. A compulsion. In hindsight, it was a bit strange, given we had access to your darkroom.

In a New York Times obituary Roberta Smith wrote that "Mr. Gillespie had his first solo show in 1966 at the Forum Gallery and was included in several Whitney Biennials in the 1960's and 70's, but he remained an art world outsider, respected by many but enthusiastically embraced by few."
