Our founder was inspired by her comprehensive show in Amsterdam of April, 2024. She is a performance artist and revolutionary. In her work, Abromovíc explores the relationship between the viewer and the audience, and the limitations of the mind and body. Thank you, Marina. Image credits; MOMA.
A practically physchidelqic film exploring the relationship between two lovers. Heart breaking, and hopeful. Rumor has it, Cherry Blue also refers to the color of Clementine’s hair. And the Montauk snow scene will always haunt these pages. Image credits; IMBD.
At the beginning of this project, our founder read Água Viva (the left corner of the mouth). Clarice Lispector was one of the most influential writers of the 21st century, completely reshaping the way in which we conceive of prose and the limitations of language. Without this book, Cherry Blue would have just been a magazine. Thank you, Clarice. Image credits; The Paris Review
A poet, a performer, a force, a legend, and our founder’s first babysitter. Her work has influenced generations, and watching her perform feels like being invited to a special club. Without her honesty, and her magic, Cherry Blue wouldn’t have ever even been a thought. Thank you, Penny. Image credits; Laurie Rubin
The obsession with Woolf began in 2022. She was a visionary, a feminist, and a masterful prose writer. To The Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful books ever written, it captures the mundane in all it’s glory. Thank you, Virginia. Image credits; Sothebys
A playwright, a film maker, a poet, an artist. Her work reaches far, and her mind even farther. Cherry Blue tried to make her proud. Thank you for your time. Thank you for your light. Thank you for the magic, Barbara.
It’s hard to describe this one without having seen it. Our founder shares a birthday with Streisand, and was touched by the film. In short, “your girl is lovely, Hubble.” A part of understanding the importance of “stolen” things in Cherry Blue. Image credits; IMBD
A book that cannot and should not be forgotten. It encapsulated New York, and was the catalyst for attempting to preserve with Cherry Blue. Thank you, Robert Patti Blue Star. Image credits; McNally Jackson
