How an Original Velvet Underground Acetate Wound Up in Portland (And Could Be the Most Expensive Record in the World!)
"A persistently high demand for artistic innovation has produced a regime in which conceptual approaches have predominated," Mr. Galenson wrote in a paper. "The art world has consequently been flooded by a series of new ideas, usually embodied in individual works, generally made by young artists who have failed to make more than one significant contribution in their careers."

8) "BEFORE THE END (THE LAST PAINTING SHOW)" Curated by painter Olivier Mosset, this show at the Swiss Institute in New York last month revolved around the idea that many conceptual artists were once abstract painters producing minimal, often monochromatic work. It wasn't the blank surfaces of these "last paintings" that attracted me, though, but the feeling of nostalgia they inspired. Standing in the gallery I thought of all the "last times" in my life that I'd registered too late. I kiss a friend goodbye on the street corner after spending the afternoon together watching bad movies, and it's not until much later that I think, "Wow, that was the last time I ever saw him."

radiator shame. this old house is heated by radiators and lots of them. we keep the heat at about 78 degrees day and night because of the tenants. is that warm enough ? even still, i keep some of my windows cracked open for comfort and ventelation. there are victorian period painted metal radiator covers for every single radiator in this house. many with female cameo design accents. the tenants seem to like them as they compliment the rest of their apartments period details. I took my covers out however and stored them in the basement. our esthetic is to remove the paint from all radiators and heat pipes. that is let the metal read metal. just as we let the hard wood floors shine through and the plaster and lath ceilings and walls be painted bright white and plaster like. i just fitted out my ceiling medallions with individual bare 100w light bulbs. and we kept the old linoleum kitchen floors.
theres been a major onslaught of news coverage of tanaguchis new moma expansion. i like it alot, but i think the real story is their redoubled effort to position moma as a luxury brand retail outlet. their once humble bookstore seems to have suddenly come up to speed with its highhat fifth avenue neighbors : Rolex, Harry Winston, Bergdorfs, Tiffany, Burberry, Hermes, Cartier...
