ART:
Josh Gosfield : Gigi Gaston, The Black Flower
You all remember Gigi Gaston, don’t you? That Bulgarian-Gypsy pop star from the Johnny Hallyday era, beloved of teen magazines and scandalized in the mid-seventies after her marriage to an Italian movie actor went bad? Oh, wait: Gigi is the entirely fictional yet utterly plausible creation of artist Josh Gosfield. The story of her “life” is told via all those magazine covers and video clips, produced with incredible fidelity to their era’s graphic design, and on view at Steven Kasher Gallery. You’ll be half-tempted to go home and search for Gigi on eBay, just to make sure she’s a fake.NYMAG
