Century Club Show and the Discovery of a Leonardo Da Vinci Painting
The Century Club in New York is a private club for artists, writers, actors, designers and other creative types. It is a beautiful building filled with art, and with an inviting library with floor-to-ceiling books. I had worked there before - when I presented with Dr. Edelman - but I’d never had a chance to really look around much, so it was a treat to be able to do a show for the club’s Fifth Floor Forum series last night. I had a lot of fun performing for the ‘Centurions’.
After the show, my friend Bonnie Roche invited me to join her for dinner. At our table was art historian and art dealer Robert Simon, who recently discovered a Leonardo Da Vinci painting of Christ - titled Salvator Mundi - which is now on display at the National Gallery in London. Needless to say, we had an absolutely fascinating conversation about his astonishing discovery! You can see a great CNN interview with Robert here, and below is the painting…
