you can feast on sol le witt. the drawings he produced are mentally delicious. what makes them so delicious, so pleasing to the mind, is that he didn't have to draw them......

artist-a-day: ad reinhardt 1913-1967

2007-01-18T08:33:00.000-08:00

The ugliest spectacle is that of artists selling themselves. Art as a commodity is an ugly idea... The artist as businessman is uglier than the businessman as artist.
