BookExpo America has its own rock stars: Barbara Kingsolver, Daniel Handler, Dean Koontz, whose name was on hundreds of posters on the front doors of the Javits Center. This year, it also had two actual rock stars: Neil Young and Patti Smith, who appeared on Wednesday afternoon at B.E.A. for an onstage conversation.
Both have new albums out: Young has just released “Americana,” a collection of folk songs such as “Oh Susanna” and “Clementine” updated as sprawling garage-rock and performed with his longtime partners in noise, Crazy Horse; and Smith has put out “Banga,” a collection that also touches on the American myth by adapting the journals of Amerigo Vespucci and, for that matter, includes a cover of Young’s “After the Gold Rush.” But they were at B.E.A. doing book business: Young’s memoir “Waging Heavy Peace” is due out in October, and Smith’s “Just Kids” won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2010. And while the two have crossed paths throughout the years—they sang together at Young’s Bridge Benefit concert in 1996, and they’ll join forces this fall for a tour we (and, we hope, they) are code-naming the Crazy Horses Tour…

Shepard Fairey and Neil Young helped to unveil art dealer Perry Rubenstein’s new Los Angeles gallery at a swank party on Saturday. The new art space isn’t scheduled to officially open until late June, but Saturday’s event was a soft launch attended by the press and a handful of art-world luminaries and celebrities.
Fairey was on hand to unveil “Americana,” a small exhibition of paintings inspired by songs from Young’s new album of the same name. “Americana,” by Young and the band Crazy Horse, features re-interpretations of classic American folk songs, including “Oh, Susannah,” “Jesus’ Chariot” and “Clementine.”
In a brief interview on Saturday, Fairey said that the collaboration had come about through his friendship with Young’s manager, Elliot Roberts. The artist had collaborated with Young in the past, and he started his work on “Americana” in February. The show features about 20 works by Fairey of varying sizes.
