Annie Armstrong is the New York City-based mind behind artnet’s gossip column, Wet Paint. It’s been just over a year since she took the reigns from Perfectly Imperfect alum Nate Freeman and in that time she’s written about everything from our friend BlakeTheMan1000’s impromptu concerts and Genevieve Goffman’s most recent show, to the lame private art club Zero Bond and Eric Adams getting COVID after a night out in the art world. In a few months she says they’ll be dropping a new take on the iconic orange and red Wet Paint hat and I’m hoping she’ll send me one. Annie is an expert at all things art and gossip, and lucky for us, she’s here to share a taste of her taste with us.

So many restaurants in New York give you amazing postcards at the end of your meal. A good lifehack for good free art is postcards–I have several framed in my house (one I got from Dimes of ladybugs having sex and another of a Mike Kelley piece from the Whitney are my favorites). I like to share the wealth and send good ones to my friends and my mom. Perfect way to entertain a table after dinner is to pick someone to send a postcard to and actually drop it in a mailbox after the meal. Who doesn’t love getting mail?
