Donald Judd, or Cheap Furniture?

Harm van den Dorpel. Goat, 2008. This has been open in a browser window for about a week now. Everyone’s seen it already—it made the internet rounds back in May—but I keep coming back to it. I found it gimmicky at first, and I don’t believe it’s a particularly good photograph, but there is a certain supernatural charm in its Heisenbergian reference.

I Bought Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol: Self Portrait

Andy Warhol. Self portrait. 1966.

I read about Andy Warhol’s diaries in an article by Louis Menand in the New Yorker a few months back, but it wasn’t until I was browsing at the Strand today that I ran across the book. It’s strikingly candid and voyeuristic, and for some reason I just can’t put it down.

As an aside, I find that I’m drawn to artists’ writings more than their actual work these days. I’m not sure if it’s a subconscious reaction to the (supposedly) jittery art market or if I’m just in a more literary than visual phase. Whatever the case, Donald Judd’s writings are next on my list.
