Now surely those nudes were far from being Minimalist.:goof:
OK... a clue for our current artist. Our artist shares an essential element with my previous artist of choice.;)
American... female.:goof:
Surely, this can't be that hard? She was one of the strongest artists of the last 50 years. She virtually "disappeared" for 20-some years, teaching art at the college level and raising a family... but rarely ever showing. Over the last decade she has experienced a "Renaissance" of sorts and been given major retrospective exhibitions in LA, Chicago, New York, and at the Pittsburgh Carnegie International.
OK... she studied at the Art Student's League of New York and exhibited during the 1960s with Leo Castelli, who was the leading art dealer in New York specializing in Pop Art.
I think you should give us the name, so that the game can continue :)
I've checked out a host of women modern artists, including one called Cindy Snodgrass. Among the notes mentioning Castelli, I didn't find any reference to the artist or the painting (?).Quote:

OK... let's play Wheel of Fortune:

Give me a letter.
ALRIGHT! Lee Bontecou, untitled (crap, now I have to pick a painting).
For us dilettantes, this game is a fascinating excercise of reducing Great Art into two or three words, so that Google will cough up the goods.
The problem is that if the work shown is too esoteric, we have nothing to go on except any clues that are given. It's not like being shown a lot of squiggles of paint so that we immediately know that the work is Pollock's or words to that effect.Quote:

Of course you never can be certain which artists will be difficult. I have posted some I thought were rather challenging only to have someone immediately recognize them... and I have had the opposite occur.
By the way... where is our next mystery painting?

I'm also wondering what the next painting will be, Juniper Wolf appears to be undecided as to what to show.
...which is exactly why I'm giving my turn to Brian (I don't like paintings).
Brian... if you don't get off your duff and post the next painting, I'm going to post some esoteric Minimalist conceptual piece from an obscure artist from the third world.:toetap05:
