Photobucket
the craziness of taking your oevre and making a retrospectalier out of it totally trumped the disappointment of seeing some of these works in a non-ideal way

Photobucket

Photobucket
many of these works were never shown in america, just in books

Photobucket
and it would have been cool to experience them as intended

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket
the meganess of this contraption

Photobucket

Photobucket
the forced cournterclockwise viewing POV

Photobucket
i mean these guys are supposed to be leaned up in a corner side by side so they look like the twin towers, right?

Photobucket
someohow that didnt bother me

Photobucket
retiring from art or not, displaying all these works in this… self-castrating way was really bold and appropriate and challenging and great

Photobucket
it makes great sense that an artist who turned galleryship and art viewing on its head would display his life’s work in a way that made everyone all panties in a bunch

Photobucket
butterface

butterbutt?

Photobucket

Photobucket
