- <p> 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."
