This just in from the What the Hell Do I Know Department: Last September I reviewed Nicholas Di Genova at Fredericks Freiser. I was pretty dismissive -- I just used Nicholas' work as a springboard to talk about someone totally unrelated he reminded me of. Recently in the comments Nicholas and his studiomate took issue with my review so I've been checking Nicholas' new blog, Skeleton Hug.
That was where I learned that one of the pieces from the show I virtually ignored was bought by the Whitney.
I don't mind in the least that the Whitney shows different taste than mine; judging by what I've seen there I'd be surprised if they didn't. But I thought I'd note it in case anyone was wondering if I think I know what I'm talking about.
Don't worry dear, I never wondered about whether you think you know what you are talking about:-)Thanks for the link, I looked through the blog briefly and and it looks interesting. I have to check out his work now.
You still believe that the Whitney is the final arbiter of What's Good In Art? You ARE a nincompoop.
I don't think the Whitney and I have agreed on art in its entire 75 year history. But that doesn't make me any less ignorant.
