The Alpha Seer understanding true art

All Summer long the Alpha Seer has been getting his personal “Olympic Golds” from the great master Knox Martin. I heard from Gaby, his studio assistant, that Knox is also getting his own much- coveted award from a certain national institute of art. I am so happy for him, and have offered my heartfelt congratulations. However, one obvious advantage,– perhaps the only one, that the Alpha Seer has over his former teacher Knox Martin is that the latter gets his award from a ragtag band of judges, to whom chicken waste and real art do not have too much of a distinction, and whom an eyeless bat would be unwilling to compete in its depth of blindness against, whereas the Alpha Seer is getting his “Olympic Golds” from the great Knox Martin himself, the only Supreme Court of Fine Art in the whole wide world.

Call it Karma if you would. Knox martin will have his next major exhibition in New York pretty soon, but he can never forget the only art dealer in his life who could truly understand art and had given the young Knox Martin his very first major “Oscar” in his budding career as an artist. The world famous dealer Charles Egan had given the young Knox a major place in his anniversary show. Knox would never forget that magnanimous gesture, since he was just a young man in his 20s and a virtual unknown entity, whereas Egan had been responsible for bringing such artistic heavy-weights as Wilhem de Kooning, Elias Goldberg and Arshile Gorky to the consciousness of mankind. Egan was indeed a great dealer in the Beat generation and enjoyed much prestige. On art representation, there is no one else whatsoever in Knox’ later years as artist that the latter would trust and respect so deeply as Charles Egan. Most other art dealers Knox had come across had been disappointing failures and art illiterates, a quite a few, one Ron G and one HMK, as well as a guy with a Russian name, from Russia, were thieves. They had robbed him blind. How did the Alpha Seer learn about that? Those same dealers had also given the Alpha Seer representation because Knox had often spoken so kindly of his student Ben Lau in front of them. Yes, if they had robbed me blind, just imagine how big the loot would have been from a nationally-renowned New York master Knox Martin! So call it Karma if you would. It still remains a fact that Charles Egan was the only true appreciator of Knox Martin’s art, the one and only!
