New York Times, Overlooked No Longer: Lee Godie, Eccentric Chicago Street Artist
Chicago Handshake – Lee Godie style
We heard a few stories about handing off cash to Lee surreptitiously, but it was more than just her take on the Chicago “handshake.” Lee wrote in her journals about how her sales activity would be watched and then she would get “rolled” at night for the money she had earned selling her paintings. So although it added a bit of intrigue for collectors, who would have to take her art and then pretend they hadn’t seen her recently while passing money in a handshake, it was just one of her savvy survival techniques.
