"The scene inside the American Visionary Art Museum was indeed visionary.....
"I couldn't help but think how much Donovan would've really liked this party. Because it's just like the '60s and the early '70s when everybody was really celebrating," Chris Murray said, Donovan's art agent and director of the D.C. Govinda Gallery."
