Recently, actor, aspiring performance artist and double-masters student James Franco has become something of a fixture in the art world, interviewing artists, penning op-eds, and photo-bombing every museum gala, art fair party and gallery reception we can think of. He's a slippery fellow to keep track of, but we've done our best with this gallery of Franco's many, many art event cameos.
