Jay DeFeo, "Untitled (White Spica)," 1973. Gelatin silver print 8 3/4 x 7 3/8 in. (22.2 x 18.7 cm.) MI&N 11792 ©The Jay DeFeo Trust/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Courtesy of Mitchell-Innes & Nash, NY.

…criticism has smacked me against the head with recognition, racked my practice with doubt, saddled my movements with embarrassment, and struck me on the ass with a hot poker of jealousy and desire.

“…I’m very interested in how sculptural the thing is, and how things that are sculptural affect the environment in which they are seen. It’s light, it’s architecture–these are the things that interest me now.” Siri Berg, “It’s All About Color,” 2011-2013 (9 panels, 20 x 104″), oil on canvas ©Siri Berg. Image courtesy the artist […]
