May 15: Chicago trip, part one—en route.

Train train, comin' 'round, 'round the bend...

It probably stands for Hot Coffee, but all I can think is Hard Core.

The Second City beats the first...

Whitney castoffs, Nov ‘23

Ruth Asawa was solid but is entirely smaller early-career ephemera and works on paper.

Sturtevant as a stand-in for Gonzales-Torres was a Curatorial Choice, pretty good toffee candy.

Incredible Henry Taylor show, great to see such raw painting talent beyond break through the by-the-numbers curatorial framing.

For a second I was like WTF, then I came around to Yes, Please. But whether it was tracking one down from the original 1991 edition or repeating it myself, I was stopped in my quest for a Felix Gonzalez-Torres "Untitled" (Free Tibet) carpet [above], by the possibility of making a Gonzalez Torres Free Tibet Sweater instead [below]

Sturtevant (1924-2014)

Warhol Black Marilyn (2004)

Sturtevant was known for repeating the works of other artists. In this way, she turned the visual logic of Pop Art - to reproduce or multiply already existing motifs - back on itself. As early as 1964, she chose works by Andy Warhol for repetition: first his Flowers series, and as of 1965 his Marilyn depictions. But Sturtevant was not interested in mere, true-to-detail repetition. She objected to the accusation that her works were simple copies and thus upset conventional notions of originality and authorship, for what then distinguishes her works from their predecessors? An answer lies in the "Warhol Black Marilyn" (2004) shown here, to which there is no direct precursor in Warhol's oeuvre. Sturtevant increased the drastic effect of the original motif. The contour of her lipstick is smeared, her smile turns into a grimace. What was already implicit in Warhol - he began his series in 1962 shortly after Monroe's death - becomes evident in Sturtevant: the actress is turned into a symbol of transience and mortality.
