I didn't go in to the office today, so I didn't wear a tie; but I do have a picture of a tie from my permanent collection which I wore to a recent special event. The tie is from the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and is adapted from Gene Davis's 1965 painting Black Popcorn. (Lucky for me they still have the tie on the website, otherwise I would have guessed it was based on Bridget Riley's 1982 painting Big Blue.) Gene Davis achieved great recognition for his work, being appointed Commissioner of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American Art in 1984, but died in 1985.
