Barry Whistler interviewed, Simek baits Dallas art bashers

D Magazine recently ran an interview with longtime Dallas art dealer Barry Whistler, eliciting a bit of history and a bit of philosophy on the occasion of his 25th year in business. For kicks, writer Peter Simek responds to comments from well known Dallas-art basher John Viramontes and touches off an exchange of nasty comments on competing partisan visions of Dallas Art history, until it degenerates into name-calling. Fun!
