Patti the Strange Messenger

Patti Smith is one cool chick, as well as former muse of the Andy Warhol art scene, so it's particularly fitting that Smith's retrospective, "Strange Messenger: The Work of Patti Smith," opened Saturday at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The exhibit captures her entire professional arc from early, childlike drawings and paintings to her stunning, never-before-seen visual and written reactions to the events that happened blocks from away her home on September 11, 2001. Smith opened the show with an acoustic set, starting with the Velvet Underground's "Pale Blue Eyes." To read more about Patti's art and guest reactions, head over to RollingStone.Com.
