Sorry, but that marilyn painting was made the same year as Warhol's....but thanks so much for the show...you were right in saying he was lesser known...I had no idea he existed...great stuff, too.

when it comes to recent Oppenheim work you can almost feel the disappointment of many of his erstwhile admirers, but i think he's great. No "thanks Kate"? I guess the M-I&N staffer would have been confused...

Hey, they don't call these half-assed productions for nothing.

That swarm piece sucks. reminds me of bad art made by some of the females who don't get it in my undergraduate class

The piece at 7.26. is impressive.

thank you so much! for introducing D'Arcangelo to me...I had no idea he existed. I think your right on with the comment on his work having a naivete. and lol at the guy at the end who looked completely unamused

D´Arcangelo and Warhol were doing MM at roughly the same time. Warhol says:

In August 62 I started doing silkscreens. I wanted something stronger that gave more of an assembly line effect. When Marilyn Monroe happened to die that month, I got the idea to make screens of her beautiful face the first Marilyns.

a young robert rauschenberg was taken to young warhols studio to see the new technique he was using, silkscreens. Rauschenberg started doing JFK and random optimism, while warhol painted car crashes and electric chairs, pessimism. :)

and jasper johns was not so sure that warhol was that great...(I just finished popism.)

[MrWowforever]

warhols philosophy, A to B and back again is also a good read, very funny. the warhol diaries are great too if your a fan. Also, Victor Bockris wrote a good warhol book:)

D'Arcangelo has some excellent works.

Thanks for the show!
