“I swear to God, if there aren’t free snacks, we’re leaving,” I said to my friend as we pulled up to the Public Hotel on Thursday night. I had somehow gotten on the VIP list for Anna Delvey’s much hyped art show and despite having zero interest in Anna Delvey, scam culture, or prison art, had decided to attend. I blame my friend for this decision, and you should too. Upon arriving, we saw approximately 300 people fighting to gain entrance to the elevators that would whisk them up to the rooftop art exhibit and exactly zero snacks. At this point, not only was I hungry, I was also certain that a leather-clad stranger who sneezed on me had just given me Covid. It was a great start to an evening that would just get weirder and worse as time dragged on.
After showing the right email to another person dressed in leather, we made it up to the exhibit. It should be noted the upper floors of the Public Hotel have very nice views of New York City. I enjoyed looking out the windows. Some good-looking, young people offered us wine. Is it free? I asked. They nodded their heads yes. This got me excited. Surely free food was to follow. But first Anna Delvey’s art show. The reason we were supposed to be there. The exhibit, titled “Allegedly,” is composed of 20 sketches that Delvey made while incarcerated at Orange County Correctional Facility in upstate New York. According to a statement Christopher Martine, an art dealer who represents Delvey, gave to Time Out New York, “The sketches tell a story from her perspective from pre-trial New York City life, trial, post trial and current events.” Okay, sure. Anyway, this is what they looked like.

Who is Anna Delvey and why should I care?
Hunter Biden’s Drag Queen nickname?
you shouldnt care- her art sucks and isn’t any better than a high schooler’s doodles from what i have seen of it so far-
Stupider people believe they are important when they follow stupid people.
I have no idea what any of this is about, but I enjoyed Abigail’s smart-alecky writing.
She’s just another 15-minute celebrity vomited up by social media. She’s a Russian-born fraud artist named Anna Sorokin. Her family moved to Germany when she was a girl and she began her life of crime. She took the name “Delvey” and passed herself off as a German princess or some such thing. This “art” show is her latest money-spinning imposition on a gullible public.
Really captured her soul!
Regards,
lol- does seem to resemble her
Is that top one “The View”?
Some good-looking, young people offered us wine. Is it free? I asked. They nodded their heads yes. This got me excited.
No art show offering free wine should be referred to as "stupid."
And as far as they're not being any free food: Just drink more wine!
Regards,
lol prolly- but she seems to paint hte same face over and over- not sure if she is doing self portraiture or not- i didn’t look at too many of her pieces- a few were enough to turn me off-
Her artistic skills give me hope!
Now if I can just keep the paint consistent by the numbers.
her drawings are ok- i woudl say about on par with high school doodles- but her paintings- wow- they are bad-
lol- will be looking for your art show in the coming months lol
Please please buy my art!
@10 million dollars each!
LOL

Now I have to try to work on my accent ...
