Ashley Longshore parties with Christian Siriano
Artist Ashley Longshore is following in the footsteps of Jean-Michel Basquiat, literally.
The Southern-born self-taught pop artist who has been dubbed the “feminist Andy Warhol,” popped up in a new temporary gallery this week, steps away from Basquiat’s studio on Great Jones.
The street’s temporarily named Jean-Michel Basquiat Way in honor of the iconic artist who passed away at 27 in 1988.
Longshore described her new space as “a punk ass rebellion. An f- you to the fascist regime.”
“During a time when art and gay is under attack, I will gladly provide my manicured middle finger to this administration and prove that we are love. We are here and we are art!” she told Page Six.
The door to enter her new pop-up gallery reads: “If you are racist, homophobic, or an a-hole, don’t come in!”
Interior designer Noz Nozawa helped transform the gallery, which features works from her collections, “Politics Is a Drag” and the provocative “Please Keep Your D–k Off The Furniture.”
Inside the launch party, Longshore mingled with her mostly downtown peers, including Amanda Lepore, Christian Siriano, Charlie Sheen’s ex Dolly Fox, Mary Ellen Matthews, Ann Dexter-Jones, stylist Leah Snow, Max Tucci and Ryan Raftery.
Shoe designer Brian Atwood, Candice Kumai, Marla Aaron and Ken Downing were also there.
Scantily clad men in tuxedo bikinis served caviar and champagne, while a life-size New York rat passed out cheese to guests.
Attendees also sipped on Jack Morgan’s Chrome Horse Society tequila.
The highlight of the evening, however, was a diaper-wearing Donald Trump impersonator prancing and dancing in the DJ booth while “DJ Joey with the Mustache” spun tunes.
