The Death of James Lee Byars


The Death of James Lee Byars

He made this huge room, open on one side, completely lined and covered with gold leaf. It is called "The Death of James Lee Byars." He was, apparently, fixated on his own death. This is currently at the Whitney, and it mesmerized me. I don't know how long I stood before it. And after seeing it I left the museum.
