“I would happily trade yet another old master costing tens of millions of pounds for the chance to find out what the many “undiscovered” artists around the world are doing—right now.”

» Eli Broad on new museum: 'Our first choice is the Beverly Hills site'
Let’s be honest Eli, you will never find adequate parking in Beverly Hills. Excuses, excuses.Rumors have been circulating over the last several days about the fate of Eli Broad’s planned Beverly Hills museum. The Architect’s Newspaper reported last week that the museum is “looking all but dead” and that Broad is searching for another location.
Broad has been conspicuously silent about the matter — until now. The billionaire philanthropist recently spoke with The Times’ Cara Mia DiMassa about his plans for downtown, but during the conversation, he also shed some light on the museum project.
“The City of Beverly Hills wants to do this. We want to do it,” he said. “But there are a lot of complications that include creating adequate parking. It’s a work in progress.”
Does this look especially forboding, or is it just me?
The plane, and the red drippy paint, and the France…Normally I would be turned off because of a lack of subtlety, but this just reinforces my fandom of Richter, he can do this image and still have me think. Maybe it is the pink tones in the red or the purposeful swooping strokes. Either way.

This is one of his “assemblages” that he has installed now at MAK. I am so into little precious objects. I can’t wait until I can get a new bookcase and I can pack it full with my little objects. It will be fun. Probably only for me though.

With all the promises of rain I have been hearing, I am in a very painterly mood.

Congratulations on being my favorite artist (of the three) who won a 2008 Chinese Contemporary Art Award! Your attention to detail is phenomenal and your range is more than impressive.*
