    We bullshit about surgery, a Halloween idea, tanning and Hugh Hefner. "Whatever flips your cookie." Then, complaining about Jerry Saltz (again) leads to a broader conversation about institutional power in the artworld. We make a clumsy Succession analogy, discuss the decline and fall of Metro Pictures, and sing the praises of Paula Cooper. Gallerists are just Dasha.
