Zimbio has published an
album of photos of a hirsute Matthew Barney at benefit to raise funds to purchase the historic Norman Mailer home in Provincetown, MA. The event was sponsored by the Norman Mailer Center and Van Cleef & Arpels and held in honor of auctioneer Simon de Pury (pictured with Barney above).
Norman Mailer appeared as Harry Houdini in Barney's
Cremaster 2 and his book
Ancient Evenings inspired Barney's latest series of works, including
Khu,
Ren, and
Djed.
