The beloved Sidney Felsen of the Gemini G.E.L. Gallery on Melrose Avenue, which Sidney opened with business partner Stan Grinstein in 1966 when the art scene was happening in L.A. Gemini quickly became the go-to vanguard for contemporary art. As denizens were embracing new art, Sidney and Stan invited museum-worthy artists to visit Los Angeles and create their graphics, etchings and lithographs (G.E.L. if you will). Joni met her illustrious mate-to-be during that job interview in September 1977. Hired she was, and nine years later, in 1986, married an art emperor in California.
