horst p horst – more cy twombly
i remember seeing this huge book on photographer horst p horst at home when i was very young, and i remember this portrait of cy twombly in his crazy italian house, the rest of the story was released in an edition of vogue at the time. love the romantic aspect of living in a palazzo and everything that comes with it as far as choices, life, style and so on. by the way, also love the gehrard richter portrait laying on the floor, in this setting, it’s rather cool! isn’it? by pp.

shut up and get in the car: ed ruscha film still
i wish we had a must TRY and see films section. a killer black and white still from ed ruscha’s early film miracle from 1975. if anyone knows where you can see it, let us know. by dd
kate moss: by lucian freud
another by lucian freud. funny quote from the london telegraph regarding the exhibit with this painting “all summer, crowds of visitors have poured into the great lucian freud retrospective at the tate britain. one person who has been too busy to pop in, however, has been the artist (though he jokingly says he would like to go, if nothing, to see if all the things he has read about his work are actually true)”. by dd

vuk vidor – art history
i might have already posted that work from vuk vidor few years ago, but that’s so good, everytime i see it i think it’s brilliant. my favorite: “gilbert owns george”, and on another plan: “sherman owns herself”… which is not so true anymore, mac owns her now see post by pp.
S is for Saturday, and for THE SUPREMATISTS
some nice pieces by kasimir malevich, more famously known for his “black square”. they speak of the still boldness that enlivened russia’s 1915 movement of suprematism that he founded and brought to life. i can think of at least one person who should relate to these. by kl
