A hero passes. Paramount contribution to expanding horizons.

Brice Marden, Who Rejuvenated Painting in the 1960s, Dies at 84 (Published 2023)

When conceptual art, Pop Art and minimalist sculpture were in the ascendancy and many were saying that painting was dead, Mr. Marden issued a powerful counterstatement.

I never got to work with Tony but got awfully close with LinkExchange. I observed his brilliance from 1996 onwards. He was a true original and lateral thinker. Tony not only knew how to spot the best people, but he got them to work for him and be loyal to him forever. RIP.

@sriramk @zoink @sriramk and @zoink monumental development. Art has been one of my main passions my whole life. Question is whether this is art or a collectible. Not sure it matters, just wonder whether this work was bought and sold on its merits of scarcity value or aesthetic value.
