Math-You Store Now Open!
Math-You Namie is Andy Warhol at Serendipity 3
Not Since 1957 has Serendipity 3 owner, Stephen Bruce, asked an artist to showcase their work besides Andy Warhol, until he met Math-You Namie.
Math-You’s works are currently on display on the second floor of Serendipity 3. Stop by, enjoy the paintings and stay for lunch, dinner or just for one of their world famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolates.
Andy Warhol declared Serendipity his favorite sweet shop, and paid his check in drawings. Stephen Bruce recalls,
“He [Andy Warhol] had an entourage of boys constantly. He wore a tweed jacket usually, with a white shirt, a knit tie, dungarees and loafers. Then he came in many times with Charles Lisanby. He [Warhol] would come in with all the sketches he did for I. Miller Shoes… We would look at his work and he’d say, ‘Oh, they liked this’ or ‘they didn’t like this’ or ‘they picked the wrong one.’ And so I got the idea… I said, ‘Let’s frame them and we can sell them.’ So that’s how it started. We sold them for $15 and $25. I framed them for more. So he started doing them with color. We were Andy’s first “Factory.” He’d bring in these four or five guys and he had pens and inks on the table, and then he would do the butterflies on the shoes and watercolors. Those were all done at Serendipity.”
The Opening Reception “Breakfast at Serendipity” will be announced at a later date in-which time we will make a separate Facebook invite.
