Still, they had a certain charm about them when displayed together like that, something I like a lot about how the Tate Mod do things. The Twombly Four Seasons paintings are all shown together, as are the Rothko Seagram paintings, although two of them were missing yesterday... not sure where they might be right now.Richard Pinnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168522717135806763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-40856567254284420022008-04-28T10:08:00.000-04:002008-04-28T10:08:00.000-04:00Thanks, Jesse.

I'm only going from reproductions in the case of the Cage paintings, but I have an odd reaction to "similar" works by Richter (ones in that 'dragged' style): I'm initially a bit off-put by what I read as excessive surface busyness, but a couple of seconds later I shift focus and begin reading it as a kind of scrim through which to see great depths, even fuzzed out images, not intentional on Richter's part, I don't think, but my own brain trying to organize patterns given the depth projection I'm making.<BR/><BR/>I've been meaning to get a critical monograph on Richter sometime; any recs would be appreciated.Brian Olewnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567239067604835372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-45197745193345549582008-04-28T00:00:00.000-04:002008-04-28T00:00:00.000-04:00Brian, try this link for the Richter/Cage works:ht...Brian, try this link for the Richter/Cage works:<BR/><BR/>http://www.gerhard-richter.com/videos/Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468752060592716983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-19028716290682638752008-04-27T20:12:00.000-04:002008-04-27T20:12:00.000-04:00Not sure how worthwhile it will be to read--kinda ...Not sure how worthwhile it will be to read--kinda weird writing about it in real time, as things happen. <BR/><BR/>Richard, are those recent works?
