Taste

A running list of things I’m into.

Michelangelo Pistoletto

Balloon / Sarajevo, 1984 Winter Olympics.

About the work: This poster was commissioned by the International Olympic Committee, and forms part of the prestigious series of Olympic art posters, where Pistoletto's contribution stands alongside those of Andy Warhol, David Hockney, James Rosenquist, and Cy Twombly.

It started in New York City, where I came across him. That led me into his work through Tate, from the mirror paintings to his Newspaper Sphere, the papier-mâché ball he famously rolled through the streets.

Guillermo Roux

Interior Room , 1981.

About the Work:

Medium: Etching on Fabriano, signed, titled, numbered and dated in pencil
Publisher: Blind stamp lower right

Born in Buenos Aires in 1929, Roux moved between painting, illustration and surrealism throughout his career, including a stint living and working in New York City in the 1960s. I discovered his work in New York

Jonata

2019, Bordeaux style. Ballard Canyon.

Enjoyed several bottles, has not missed. Bet on it.
