PEOPLE, Page 104Maximum Ego
By GINIA BELLAFANTE/Reported by Wendy Cole
Someone please stop the clock! PETER MAX surely exceeded
his 15 minutes long ago. Continuing his relentless acts of
self-promotion, Max opened an exhibit in New York City's SoHo
district last week featuring his own painterly renditions of
"classic beauties," including the Mona Lisa and the Statue of
Liberty. On hand to drum up publicity for the event: supermodel
and children's book author PAULINA PORIZKOVA. "To take someone
else's masterpiece and turn it into your own, I admire that,"
said Paulina, who became the recipient of a 30-second Max
portrait executed on her T shirt. Justifying the premise for his
new show, Max offered the following piece of twisted logic:
"It's nice to reinvent an image. If Da Vinci and Picasso were
alive today, they'd be on MTV."
