Obama's house was evacuated during the fire. The two houses practically back up to each other, only two houses apart.

John Phelan is an art collector and pretty pervy. He has a mirrored floor so he can look up ladies skirts like Chester the molester.
What is the most surprising place you have displayed a work?
In the living room of our Aspen home we have a 2011 Walead Beshty mirrored floor. It covers the entire space. When the work is installed, the mirrors are pristine; over time they are meant to crack and change with the living in the house. The floor is constantly changing. It is amazing to see people’s reactions at parties when they realise what you can see in the floor—naughty and nice!
Which artists, dead or alive, would you invite to your dream dinner party?
One of our favourite things to do is to socialise with the many artists we collect. It is a gift to be able to do so and we are honoured to have that opportunity often. We would love the chance to dine with some of the artists we collect who have passed: Picasso, Basquiat, Warhol, de Kooning, etc.

Amy Phelan and John are definently running with the Marina Abramovic crowd. Amy attended the shindig where they all pretended to eat people.
Thanks, I thought the same thing right after I hit reply.
Rachel Brand was United States Associate Attorney General. Who holds that seat now? Trump tapped Stanley Woodward Jr. but is the seat vacant right now? It seems his nomination is still in congress. I am not sure.

I guess I answered my own question. Emil Bove is the acting Associate attorney general.
