TO ROY WITH LOVE
MAY 23, 2013
ROY CARRUTHERS:
I first met Roy over lunch in the early ‘80’s when I was a tourist overstay through a mutual collector. He gave me the keys to his studio in the Chelsea Hotel, paint, canvas and a friendship that has sustained the idea of the kindness of strangers to this day. He introduced me to the illustration that allowed my survival and Joan who became my Rep and later my wife. Roy shared a love of obscure artists, discordant jazz, redheads and a distain of the unoriginal - Peace, love, John.
