JMc John McEnroe "What do you do with this name!?" - Christoph Heinrich, the Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Denver Art Museum. John McEnroe, the artist, responds "I'm sure he’s aware of me. He is also an art dealer with a pretty good reputation in the contemporary art world. But I feel connected to McEnroe beyond our name." John continues, "I loved watching him play because I played tennis competitively too. Of course I got tons of shit for my name. But I still watched all the great matches with Connors, Borg, and Lendl. They were lessons in true creativity.” Christoph Heinrich, "...well, we just use it as it is, simply your family name".
