Invisible Man????

Bruce Conner invisible? Bruce is a major artist undoubtedly, but he is also a master p.r. man. That's why Poets of the City at the Museum turned into a one man ( re West Coast artists represented) Bruce Conner festival; his pix were on the posters, his works predominated, his flicks dominated while Jay De Feo, George Herms, Wallace Berman, and Wally Hedrick remained invisible.

Bruce Conner invisibible. [[handwritten]] stet [[/handwritten]]. Cmon now Tom Kent. You too have fallen under the con of Bruce's charm. He is a major artist,but,hardly invisible, although De Feo, Herms, Berman and Hedrick to a large degree are invisible and they as artists are in the same as Bruce. 

Is the rumor true that for his major retrospective upcoming at the Museum, Bruce will donate his left ball, if they will gold plate it, and call the show, "the Golden Ball of Bruce Conner?" 

Prevail,
