Deitch has always reveled in the idea that there’s no difference between art, pop culture, life, fun and high production. Over the years he’s shown high art, low art, a fair share of pure crap, graffiti and a certain amount of borderline porn. He’s staged fashion shows, produced music and rebuilt whole buildings inside his usually immense plain exhibition spaces. When he’s made money and when he hasn’t, he’s always run his galleries as if they were Kunsthalle carnivals.
