Friday is breakfast with my friends. They were all there. Bill is going to Paris next week to do the Picabia thing. I enjoy talking with him about the BAD Picabia’s that never make the history books. Remindes me of my bad years. First I was a “Bad Painter” and then I was a bad artist and today I am enjoying the fruit of those years. To quote Charley Sheen, " WINNER!"Staley then goes on to casually dismiss Jim Nolan's show at Art Palace, Heimir Björgúlfsson's show at CTRL, and the Heyd Fontenot show at Inman, before he praises a show I somehow didn't even hear about--Sfumati Nudi by George Krause. The photos from the show look really good! I may disagree with some of his brusque opinions (we disagree about Jim Nolan's show, obviously), and I wish he'd name names when he slags off an artist's work, but damn if he isn't an important voice locally. Put Staley's blog, Professor Art, in your RSS Feed.
