I read a Tom McCarthy thing on him recently.Richter,
I've got that documentary about Richter which shows him painting some sort of incomprehensible piece of shit and talking about it very persuasively so in the end you can't tell if it is a piece of shit or if you're just a peasant.
There are julie mehretu, chuck close, and kehinde wiley paintings I likeHas anyone seen a contemporary painting they've loved? Last, I dunno, 20 years? It's getting tough these days
But this is stuff you will only understand if you are a practicing artist operating at a very high level. I certainly wouldn't expect you plebs to understand
Pretty sure my grandmother (Betye Saar) is represented by the same gallery as Wiley. They had a section at Expo Chicago a couple years back, and I was able to hang out there and talk to prospective buyers. Anyway, there was a Wiley painting, a portrait of a man holding a skull, which I believe was referencing a famous painting, but I don't know which.There are julie mehretu, chuck close, and kehinde wiley paintings I like
