I have already written in recent wet paint: whoever is anybody knows that Amanita is the hottest new gallery on the block. His most recent exhibition, “Works On Paper: 100 Years,” features 100 drawings by a litany of all the artists you’ve loved, and its opening was the unofficial kickoff to summer. To commemorate the event, I asked one of the gallery’s founders, Caio Twombly (grandson of Cy Twombly, heard of him?), to show us what opening week was like.
Take it, Caio!
