Scope and Contents

This is a review of an exhibition of the work of Brion Gysin at the New Museum in New York. The curator, Laura Hoptman writes that "in her minds eye Brion Gysin will finally emerge, fully formed, in this retrospective as the artist he really was...This wil be one version of him, And maybe someday all the musicians he knew and all the people he slept with or all the people he had influenced so deeply will end up giving us their own Brion Gysins." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
