Forrest bess here.
wow lovely thing, never heard of him....
"It's marked $150 and we're happy to tell you it hasn't lost any of that value. We'd like to buy it from you right here and now!"
I like it.
More of him here. His site here. Nyt review here.
Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee or Forrest Bess! I vaguely remember a Thomas Lawson review from the early '80s where he tried be cynical about the Forrest Bess trend but failed--and you can sense Brenson struggling in that Times review. Thanks for that link - I never knew the particulars of Bess' self-gender-reassignment. Also for the images of the work--I wonder if/when the Antiques Roadshow discovery will be added to the canon.
Canon fodder.
