John Malcovich looks funny when he is made up to look like a Warhol Marilyn print. I mean, wouldn’t most 60-year-old men? It’s part of a pretty insane show, “Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters,” where The Malk recreates classic photos. It’s at the Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago.
