James St. James and Thairin Smothers went to the retrospective of legendary NYC East Village artist and doll-maker Greer Lankton (1958-1996), currently showing at One Archives in West Hollywood until September 17. James interviewed Kenny Scharf, Van Barnes, Bruno Schmidt and One Archives' Daniel Babcock about this glamorous, conflicted and brilliant artist whose own androgynous beauty and eerily beautiful dolls captivated the art, fashion and downtown worlds of New York City, and later the world at large, in the 80's and 90's.
