I am sorry. Now at pacegallery - one floor of giant gut-wrenching black-and-white hyper realistic #RobertLongo drawings is pretty good. 
But four floors of Robert Longo is such a massive overkill flame out that I do not know what to say. 

Right now there seems to be an eighties market moment. The God awful NYT article on Friday on all the artists (in the current #MaryBoone show at levygorvydayan and someplace else) going on about the period (I like a handful of them a lot) and current nyc shows by Keith Haring and Lawrence Weiner and Richie Serra and others - feels like something that might have seemed a good idea at the time but the effect is enervating.  But, there must be product to move. 

Rather than the same-old same-old - maybe try the much much livelier and better whitneymuseum “Sixties Surreal” (although there is nothing whatsoever “surreal” about the art)  approach and do a show of 100 mostly overlooked artists. 

So far, this is so not passing the smell test.
