    Jonathan Lasker - Brief Article

    Quoted: Jonathan Lasker once told me he thought the Minimalists had been trying to make an art without metaphor, and in fact had succeeded; but the point having been proved, he continued, there's no longer any urgent motivation to produce more metaphor-free work. But neither, I would add, is there any special reason to create metaphor-laden art--that is, unless the metaphors carry conviction. Lasker's paintings puzzle over precisely this question: what's credible in painting, for now, and why.

    "Girl, You Know It's True"

    terence koh vs. gerhard richter.

    the rest of the site can be very nsfw, but loaded with occasional brilliance.

    Richard Tuttle interview

    Quoted: NEW YORK—Richard Tuttle has trodden the most independent of paths since he first came to public attention in the mid-1960s. Geometrical shapes cut from white paper and pasted to a wall, strange curving patterns made from wire, cutouts of unstretched dyed canvas, short pieces of rope nailed to a wall—these were only some of his early ways of working. They were not to everyone’s taste. When Tuttle had his first major retrospective, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1975, Hilton Kramer infamously savaged it in the New York Times: “In Mr. Tuttle’s work, less is unmistakably less. It is, indeed, remorselessly and irredeemably less. It establishes new standards of lessness.”

    this guy is my hero. i have the fortune to meet him at mca last fall. the man is as humble as his work. and just as profound.
