We were just paying a visit to our oh-so-sexy friends at My Comrade and learned something very interesting: New York City's Clampart Gallery will be presenting an exhibit of legendary art-fag James Bidgood's work. Most well known for his 1971 film, Pink Narcissus, which revolves around the masturbatory fantasies of a down on his luck prostitute, Bidgood's earned quiet a cult following. Although, it wasn't always thus: when the film first debuted, Bidgood neglected to attach his name, leading many to assume the film came from Andy Warhol.

It wasn't until Taschen published a book of Bidgood's work that he publicly came out at the man behind the queer favorite. In a 2006 interview, Sean Fredric Edgecomb asked Bidgood what he thought of the Warhol rumors, to which Bidgood replied:

Pink Narcissus doesn’t look anything like Warhol. First of all he would never put that much effort into anything, and that always annoyed me, the first reason that I don’t like things. That’s why I’m a very old corny guy, because if my Aunt Mabel could do it, it ain’t worth doin’, and for God’s sake, I loved my Aunt Mabel, I just figure if you’re going to be in a gallery, you should be able to do more than my Aunt Mabel could do.

Anyway, if you're interested, the show's running from January 4th-February 17th at Clampart (521-531 West 25th St). For more information, check out their website.
