firefox wiped all my open tabs when it restarted, including a bunch of stuff I was going to post about. so I'm trying to rebuild the queue a bit. I definitely remembered these, though:

A signed exhibition poster of a swagged out c. 1975 Cy Twombly in Naples, which used to belong to Twombly's friend, artist Donald Baechler.

And a group of unexpected and surreal student-era pictures by Richard Prince, which he'd given to a former classmate. First up is this self-portrait with a toilet valve coming out of his 1970s head.

Both are selling at Stair Galleries on 5 June 2024, so get your paddles ready.

Donald Baechler (born 1956 ) is an American artist. Dissatisfied with New York City, he proceeded to the Staatliche Hochschule fuer Bildende Künste Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

"At Cooper Union I met some German exchange students. This was 1977, and I found the whole scene at the school to be white and boring, to be honest. It wasn't what I wanted out of art school or what I wanted out of being in New York. The most interesting minds, the most interesting talents and energy came from those German kids. And they said, 'Why don't you come to Germany?' The easiest school to get into was the one attached to the Frankfurt Museum. The entrance requirements were less strict, so I went with it and spent a year in Frankfurt. They were very generous."
