She just had a show uptown a couple months ago. The work has gotten a lot more abstract than this. I like the abstract stuff better, but not really one of my favorites...
Oh I hate to be negative on someone but I felt the same aversion...there seems to be some Romantic notion of drippy, washy painting plus depressed figures which equals embarrassment on the part of this viewer. I am sorry.
I love Daniel Richter too and at first glance it reminded me of it, but when you look closer it's too earnest and not as epic or something. Daniel Richter is great. But I like your interpretation.
yes. but i'm all for that. i guess i was just being nice to the folks who like him, throwing them a bone. Zwirner artists i do like: Pettibone, McCracken, Nordstrom & Mamma A. (sort of), De Keyser, Ruff (some of it)
Martin thanks for evening it out. BB I thought I had your taste pegged down. I picked this painting because it was so different from the rest of her work. None of which I have seen in person.
i don't hate this at all. it's like a late 60's illustration of a tatooine funeral.
I'll buy that. Its got that Jim Dine out in the country academicism...I mean in my experience, coming from there...I joined the Rebel Aliance, and we're really into video (help me obi wan) and stuff, but I dig those old illustrations.

ReplyDeleteeesh. the dripping book freaks me out. there is a forced quality in the figuration.... i'd like to see the more abstract stuff.
ReplyDeleteno likey.

ReplyDeleteI love David Zwirner and this painting reminded me of him.
I just thought this was after the party. The day after when you have to go to church.
oops I mean I love Daniel Richter. And Zwiner too.

ReplyDeleteZwirner is the dream gallery to show at. To me at least.
ReplyDeleteYour dream is to give your career over to an angry german???
ReplyDeletei work at zwirner, so i thank you from the entire hardworking staff here at the gallery. but i'm not with you on d. richter.
ReplyDeleteand burrito, you couldn't be more wrong. anyone should KILL to work with dz.
ReplyDeletei don't get why people like Richter so much...
ReplyDeleteI know he's got skillz etc. but his work is so dry and suffocating.
i wholeheartedly disagree about his having skillz. is that institutional disloyalty?
ReplyDeleteyes. but i'm all for that. i guess i was just being nice to the folks who like him, throwing them a bone.

yeah, jockum and mamma are great. i like borremans, douglas and genzken too. pettibon was mean to me once but i still like his work.
ReplyDeleteback to this khorramian painting: please, it is burning my retinae
If you want to see her new work, plug this in...

I'm curious what people think...
bb, the new work is A LOT better but it is hard to really see on the website. the details get lost and it looks a little dark.
ReplyDeletei don't hate this at all. it's like a late 60's illustration of a tatooine funeral.
ReplyDeleteby tatooine, i meant the planet luke skywalker is from. did i shut this down? sorry.
ReplyDeleteMartin thanks for evening it out. BB I thought I had your taste pegged down.
ReplyDeleteI picked this painting because it was so different from the rest of her work. None of which I have seen in person.
That's funny, painter. I actually own a small Khorramian, but it's minimal/abstract, so you're close... I'm a very complex brother.
ReplyDeleteDear Painter - I googled her to see more stuff, I think you spelled her first name wrong?
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin I fixed it.
