Spencer Tunick

I first met Spencer Tunick at the MOCA Cleveland party in August '04 for the unveiling of his photo "Cleveland 1" taken in June '04. As a participant I was there to pick up my print, when I noticed a rather unassuming man wandering through the crowd, no entourage, no fan fare but watching the people respond to the art and to the video being shown of the event. I recognized him and said hello and thank-you and he responded in a generic way that famous people do when fans meet them, but when I mentioned a particular work of his that had inspired me he then focused more on what I was saying and this later led to further encounters. My wife and I have posed in the US three times now, and I have posed in Lyon, France.Iam a co administrator for an online art group that centers on Spencer, the Spencer Tunick Forum.
