Everyone's waiting on Damien Hirst -- His first show here in four years, New heights or his wurst? And Mary Boone opens with glam Micha Klein Does she just want to kiss-kiss with "Styles of the Times?" Artists whack critics in a show at White Box (Will tiny Tom Sachs give up wearing sox?) Ol' wily Jack Tilton survives in Soho with hot Chinese artists and a sprite named Nicole. Two dozen shows are scheduled at Deitch (His assistant, Koji, will be double-taxed twice!) And if the strike isn't settled by management morons at MoMA, a great '60s show will debut in a coma. The great museum shows are outside of New York: Ed Ruscha at the Hirshhorn Warhol at the Corc. An old British buzzard, so wiry and wily Psychedelicizes Dia Her name's Bridget Riley Who hasn't actually painted in 35 years, (from Kelly, Noland, Gene Davis she steals her ideas). Although it's hotter than hot to be the old shrew a poor critic wonders, "Exactly what does she do?" So hail the hundreds of galleries in Chelsea Smooch new art school graduates named Christy and Kelsey There's so much excitement seems nothing could bor'em Except the new issue of boring Artforum May your season be prosperous Your creativity fine And always remember Do your collecting online.
