On Gerhard Richter Is A Famous Painter Of Expensive Paintings
@Gef the Talking Mongoose
ha, allow me. Two generations of feminist and post-colonial criticism notwithstanding, the Great Man Theory of Painting is alive and well in the Western art market that still sites value in the traditional European-to-American-to-Globalism historical narrative. Richter may personally reject a theoretical link to Cezanne, but there are no credible exceptionalist claims that 20th and 21st century painting is not connected back through the artists Hu mentioned.
And it was very much a discussion point when Magda was putting this show together, and all the people included were men. Or rather, the people who agreed to be in the show, because then you can speculate on who the women were who were considered and/or invited, and who declined, and why.
In any case, I heartily endorse this event or product.

The internet tells me it's a tiglon, but I will trust the Today Show on this. Also, Male Tiger + Lioness, which is the opposite of a liger.

And just like Christopher Columbus, he set out looking for something entirely different than what he found when those Thai streetwalkers dropped their drawers.

Don't be too hard on yourself, Choire, I don't think any of us really knew just how sick irony really was in 1997.
