“spargel saison”
Events
A PR friend recently accosted us at an opening to insist we mentioned ‘how devastated [they were] when the lobster rolls ran out’ at last week’s Hauser & Wirth bash for Gary Simmons at the Groucho Club (which the gallery recently purchased and promise to revamp to it’s fuzzy 90s heyday). We weren’t invited but heard from a close writer friend it was ‘full of young people’ who were ‘actually dancing’. Sad to miss the festivities, we did see 100 Instagram stories depicting an ostentatious mountain of asparagus, which can only mean one thing: spargel saison has begun. Rumour has it that London Gallery Weekend is also hosting an exhibitors party at The Groucho this week, we wonder what’s in store… On that note, we bring you an abridged s’letter this week (spittlers need bank hols too!) – choc full of events for this year’s LGW!!
