My last two posts, the nude guy on the cover of the NY Post and Keith Haring’s new exhibit in San Francisco, gave me the idea for this combo post. When Madonna was marrying Sean Penn, Keith was invited to the wedding and he took Andy as his date. Around that time, nude pictures of Madonna were published in Penthouse and the Post cover screamed the headlines. Her famous quote about the picture scandal? “So what!” Andy & Keith made her four paintings as a wedding gift and here they are. (I think they each kept one, as there are 6 in total.) At a benefit at the Pyramid for Madonna’s longtime friend and former manager, Martin Burgoyne, who was kinda broke and suffering from AIDS at the time, I remember Keith showing me pics from the wedding in the dressing room. Madonna was there that night too. The rest is her-story.
