Daniel Richter

Daniel Richter    [trailer]

Documentary about contemporary artist Daniel Richter that explores the question of how political a famous painter can actually be in an environment of the turbo-capitalist art market.

Very interesting and entertaining portrait of Richter.

It's my impression that artists usually are reluctant to talk about their work and don't like getting filmed while painting. But he seems to enjoy talking about his paintings. It helps that he's very articulate.

He comes across as authentic, likeable and easy-going. But it's also evident that he cares about his work.

His two small parrots almost steal the show.

We 've been looking at the Mike Kelley catalogue, getting ready for the show to open at MOCA on March 31.

This thematic retrospective catalogue is the most comprehensive volume ever published on the iconoclastic American art Mike Kelley, featuring essays, a fully annotated plate section and a newly researched and revised biography and bibliography of Kelley's work.
