OF NOTE

Mark Segal, the art director of the East Hampton Star wrote such a nice article, I have to include some of it.
”Ms. Willoughby's life for the past two decades has centered on art and artists. She organized the art auction for Project Most's Eileen's Auction benefit in 2016, and in June 2019, she was a developmental director and curator of the Planned Parenthood Benefit Exhibition and Gala held at Guild Hall. Among the 50 artists were April Gornik, Michael Halsband, Mary Heilmann, Pat Place, Maynard Monrow, Bert Stern, and Kenny Scharf.
 “I work with people I have a deep and long connection with,"
she said.
"I understand their work because I understand their story of life. It's very important to me to curate in places that I feel a deep empathy with.

The Norwood Club was a private venue in Manhattan that closed last February after a 15-year run. Owned by Alan Linn, its membership included Keith Richards, Boy George, and Stella McCartney; over the bar hung a light fixture by Alexander McQueen, "which looked like a demented Christmas tree." 

Ms. Willoughby was invited to brunch there 10 years ago. "I saw this handsome Englishman with this dog as I came in, and liked his looks. I said, 'I don't know anything about this place.' He said, 'Oh, I'm the owner.' We hit it off."
It became her home away from home for the next decade, and in December 2020 she organized a show there of work by Katrina Del Mar, Rene Ricard, Warren Neidich, Saskia Friedrich, Nathan Slate Joseph, Lucy de Kooning Villeneuve, Kacper Abolik, Victoria de Lesseps, and Noel de Lesseps, Christopher Makos, Marcia Resnick, Curtis Kulig et al;
Her beloved dog, Sweet P always had a seat at the bar. RIP x

As another point of view: In 2020, during Covid, she organized
“3 Day Weekend," the first show at the Fireplace Project after the onset of the pandemic. The exhibition drew several hundred visitors each day to see work by Don Christensen, Mary Heilmann, Saskia Friedrich, Sabra Moon, Lucy de Kooning Villeneuve, Pat Place, Maynard Monrow, and Noel de Lesseps among others.
A reading by the poet Max Blagg filled the venue…”

Pamela was asked to join Longhouse’s arts committee board 5 years ago, which became her forever home.

FOREVER LOVE
MARCIA RESNICK RIP
