For those in NY, my favorite gallery ClampArt www.clampart.com is having an exhibition of Jill Greenberg's bear portraits (in addition to the "Rapture"-childen crying series in the back section of the gallery).
I REALLY like her monkey portraits. The bears don't show as much personality as the monkeys; but, still are interesting for their ferocity...or in this case, the lack there of.

Been a while.

I'm got my clothes and watch fill lately, so time to buy something new to put on the wall.

I'm thinking...
1) Another Takashi Murakami print

2) Jack Pierson photograph

3) Jill Greenberg End Times print "Torture" (smaller size)

4) Serge Matta men's fashion watercolor/drawing from the 50s-60s
Not this picture! I just found this online. It would be this sort of style; but, a men's study.

5) John Arsenault "Lonely" photograph

Since you like Murakami:

All this seems terribly decorative, especially Murakami. I don't especially like Murakami as his art is rather ornamental to put it in simple terms.

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit the Dada exhibit in Paris at the Centre Pompidou in 2005. We were moved by the art, the people behind the movement and their philosophy. It was the first art movement that happened in multiple major cities around the world due to advances in technology, travel and communications.

Dada is an interesting movement. It's one of those situations that had to have its perfect context otherwise it would have been terribly absurd and irrelevant. Imagine doing Dada today. I believe one of the centers of Dada was Zurich, with the Cabaret Voltaire as its focal point. The big names--Tzara, et al.--used to do poetry recitals and performances at the location; Hugo Ball used to dress up in this robot costume.

I remember being moved by the DADA exhibit as well, when it was at the National Gallery.

That dada exhibition was really fantastic. I went to it half a dozen times in Paris. My list of artists I like is far too long, so I'll name just a few. These are all very famous names, but I consider that to be the case largely by virtue of the fact that a lot of the best artists do become famous. Traditional artists: Manet. Caravaggio. Sargent. Codazzi. Fra Angelico. Velasquez. Vermeer. Goya. Greco. Modern: Twombly (in person his works are like nothing else, and I truly hope I will be able to own his work in the future, although that may be extremely difficult). Dubuffet. Fontana. Ernst. Duchamp. Malevich. Picasso (he needs to be here). Manzoni. Derain. Rauschenburg. Post modern: Matthew Barney (The Cremaster Cycles are amazing). Keinholz. Klein. Hirst. Macarthy. Creed. Gilbert & George. Koons.
