a visual collective outlet of inspiration
this is my favorite period of richter, the blurred photo paintings and portraits, but this is not one of my favorites in the batch and thank god. this one sold on tuesday for 37 million, that’s ten times the price it sold for just 15 years ago at 3.5. don bryant, founder of napa valley’s bryant family vineyard is the new happy owner. i’m sure he really gets ‘art’ just like his wines. pay him a visit. by dd

the dreamers: nazi love
painting by stanley borack, born january 23, 1927 in brooklyn, new york, to jewish immigrants from austria. this is one of his more intriguing pieces amongst the many western cover arts for pulp fiction. “i always loved a good western movie. the old west was a classical era in american history, with its unique clothing, colorful indian costumes, and wagon trains. who doesn’t like to look at a handsome horse in movement?” more on stan the man. by xy

the other warhol – les levine
by les levine, irish-canadian artist… deemed “the other warhol” even though his works were generally ‘pre’ not ‘post’. he was a major precursor to the conceptual movement, but considered himself a ‘media sculptor’ as he was one of the first to use technology and information as a base for his art works.
