a story in the nytimes about john currin (whose paintings are amazing). it seems he’s getting a major retrospective at the whitney soon (nov 20). the opinions he expresses are so nice to hear i want to hug the guy. deborah solomon, who wrote the piece, however, needs a nice smack. seriously. also, something i’ve always wanted to say to the new york times- how in the hell can you write 5 pages on an artist and only offer a single 2 inch thumbnail of the work? it’s the internet! put up some fucking links at least! with that in mind, here you go. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. best i could do. enjoy.
