"Irving Penn: Banquet"

This link will take you to an exhibition that has just opened in Paris but was planned before Penn's passing.

 

This turkey neck was a picture we collaborated on in 2003, to illustrate a beauty story in Vogue on aging hands and necks. The turkey I found from a live poultry place in far Queens. It was something like 47 years old. I had to say I was bringing the turkey home as a pet for my son, then took it (in the trunk of a Big Apple Limo) to a Greek butcher in Astoria to be killed.

All for the sake of art.
