As expected, the opening party for Shepard Fairey's show at the Institute of Contemporary Art drew quite a crowd last night. Guests included the artist's parents, who came up from South Carolina, as well as his wife, Amanda. Other gallery gawkers included ICA board president Paul Buttonwieser, philanthropist art collector Barbara Lee, Puma's chief creative officer Antonio Bertone, Fresh cofounder Lev Glazman, and Jim Foster of the James and Audrey Foster Prize fame. But we hear that the real crush is for Friday's sold-out Experiment shindig at the ICA. (Fairey will DJ the bash.) Scrolling around Craigslist this week, we saw somebody selling two $25 tickets to the event for a cool $500.
