There is nothing more American, at this point, than to be offended.

@JasonAChristian Un homme qui dort by Georges Perec (it is a masterpiece). La salle de bain by Jean-Philippe Toussaint (also great).

@stephaniedk96 That’s more or less how I learned French, Italian and Spanish.

@bpkelly89 What is amazing about this is that Warhol would have loved it, even celebrated it, 100%. The essential democratization of most exalted building in America, The White House.

@artfcity “insight-free content” just made my day

[Chris Sharp @chris_sharpless]

@dakota_gems You forgot Mimmo Rotella, Raymond Hains and François Dufrêne. While we’re at it, Alberto Burri. Edgar also acknowledges Mark Bradford as an influence, not to mention Clifford Still, Anselm Kiefer, and even John Constable. But are these “the same”? Do they even look alike?

[Chris Sharp @chris_sharpless]

@CarlaFaesler Oh no!

@patriottakes What I find amazing is how simian her features are. She basically looks a baboon. Nobody seems to remark this.

I wonder if or when Kevin McCarthy will ever wake up with a start and say, “My god, what awful thing have I done with my life?”

@deankissick @jjcharlesworth_ It wouldn’t have anything to do with obediently demonstrating correct ideological thinking would it? Lest you be virtually stoned to death by the entire internet?

@jerrysaltz Hands down the most mined, mimicked and exploited artist around is Mark Kostabi. If you haven’t noticed it yet, you will now see Kostabi everywhere. He is the unsung hero (?) of contemporary figuration.

@fiImgal What that one of them is reading Bolaño?

@RichieHof L’écume des pages, Paris. Open till midnight every day of the week, including Sunday.

@earlboykins I remember a rat crawling over the seat next to me once there.

@L0m3z Growing up in the Bay Area in the 70s and 80s, I suspected that I was surrounded by crazies who possessed but the most fanciful conception of history, cultural or otherwise. It wasn’t until I arrived in NYC in my early twenties that my suspicions were confirmed to be true.

@lmcleanferris Jochen Lempert retrospective at Pompidou— best show in town.
