Richard signing his art books

Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (far right)—give it away...give it away...give it away now!

...and the weirdest spotting at the opening: Pam Anderson. She stood off the the back wall caked in makeup wearing a mini, zip-up, pleather-ish catsuit while ditzily giggling and chatting with a few folks and Richard before being whisked away by her large bodyguard...only to be spotted later that night by the paps.

(see more famous folks at the opening HERE)

SHE: Images of Women by Wallace Berman & Richard Prince
