Re: Favorite Artist?
I'll be with you when you personally demonstrate that Duchamp is the easiest artist to write about. Hurry, I'm holding my breath (of Paris air).
Piranesi is my favorite artist. Exhalation as turd island, and then some.
You know, it might just be that Piranesi actually met my 'dada' the night of 24 September 1997--xxx.htm
Re: Favorite Artist?
won't grade you on the hard parts
The Duchamp center in NYC is (presently) not MoMA, rather http://www.toutfait.com/ and related sites (unfortunately experiencing much web transmission difficulty lately), of which the real site in Lower Manhattan (home of Rhonda R. Shearer, Duchamp scholar and Stephen Jay Gould's widow) contains the largest private collection of Duchamp works anywhere.
I've been invited there, but haven't gotten the change to fulfill the invitation yet. Maybe soon, however. Probably the next time I stay over-night in the East Village, apparently on the floor below Christopher Wool's abode(?) or is it studio(?) or does he rent it out(?). [I did like what I saw of Wool online at some German gallery web site last November, and that was even before I found out I had already spent a night beneath him.]
Re: Favorite Artist?
What I say here is usually a response, and providing a link to some of my work online is sometimes just the response I want to make, thus I'm not doing all this necessarily for feedback as much as for receiving a further response maybe. Feel free to deliver your prepped choice words, however. I have to wonder though, will you be signing with your real name? That might just make your words really choice.
I will from now on at talkback write virtually nothing about Duchamp--just for you. I think that's the easiest.

1954.Saturday, New York City
Following a detailed summary of his previous day's conversation with Fiske Kimball, at the foot of the sixth page of his letter Marcel tells Arensberg: "Another mere piece of news is that I married last Saturday Teeny Matisse, the ex-wife of Pierre." He concludes: "In growing old, the hermit turns devil..."
