If this seems like an unlikely location for an art show, one only needs to spend time on Tierney\u2019s web site to understand the connection. There you\u2019ll find around 12 works all depicting the Paul Smith store in LA. You\u2019ll also learn, as I did when working on my story, that Tierney presented Paul Smith with a painting of the Melrose store and Smith was so taken with the piece he turned it into a women\u2019s scarf sold exclusively at his LA shop.<\/p>\n<p>I am attending the opening of the exhibition later this week and encourage you to catch the show while you can.
