Felcholino and their Getty tell-all, “Chasing Aphrodite”
[UPDATE: David Bomford, in response to my direct query, said that he is not in talks with the Courtauld, as suggested by Felcholino’s source.]
Felcholino (Jason Felch and Ralph Frammolino), of Chasing Aphrodite fame, apparently still have their “Deep Throat(s)” at the J. Paul Getty Trust, ready and eager to spill the beans on confidential goings-on in LA’s art acropolis. Getty officials haven’t released any details from yesterday morning’s museum staff meeting with trust president James Cuno, where he planned to discuss “the transition and moving forward,” two days after the announcement of the imminent, unexpected departure of museum director David Bomford.
So we’ll have to rely on Felcholino’s Getty fly-on-the-wall, who gave them a running account of the meeting, posted on their Chasing Aphrodite Facebook page.
Here, off the “Wall,” is a screenshot of the relevant, revelatory passages (which should be read bottom-to-top for proper chronology):
