We’re in Soho on Tuesdays, the Lower East Side on Wednesdays, Chelsea on Thursdays. We go to openings, art fairs, auctions, performances, lectures, galas, member events, after-parties. (Oh the afterparties!) WE are the New York Art World, though we do travel, so we’re really everywhere.

Every Friday, we post things in “Overheard in the Art World.” #OHAW Honestly, art world, don’t take yourself so seriously.

Here is our first — and short — inaugural post with a few things we overheard this week:

“Is that girl wearing vagina earrings? I only know what a vagina looks like because of Georgia O’Keeffe.”  
@ MoMA PS1/Creative Time launch of MTV’s “Art Breaks”

Person #1: “Is Jeff Koons gay?”  
Person #2: “God, I hope not.”  
@ Brooklyn Museum’s 2012 Artist Ball Afterparty

“My ex-boyfriend, the comedian, called me yesterday to say he met Kehinde Wiley and ask me if I knew of his work. I said, his paintings are worth a lot more than your jokes, sweetie.”  
@ Brooklyn Museum’s 2012 Artist Ball Afterparty

“God, what I want to do to this panel.”  
Naughty architect @ Storefront opening of *Archizines*
