Gunter, a retired journalist who edited a string of gay porn magazines (Michael’s Thing, Mandate, Playguy, Honcho) starting in the seventies, is not famous, but he is an example of that mythical creature the New York City character, and his apartment is an illustration of what happens when a person of charismatic weirdness is allowed to stew in his weirdness for four decades. The place is jammed with souvenirs from trysts, crimes, and celebrity encounters. Here is the authentic funerary statuette acquired semi-legally from a museum that might not have known what it gave him. Here is a gilded panther. Here is Marky Mark with his junk out. There’s so much to see.
