Yes To Washington Collectors…

Blake Gopnik’s idea for a collectors group, floated in the Washington Post, is an intriguing idea. “Of course, we’d all get into an immediate and fun argument as to what “contemporary” means. To Blake it’s obviously at least Arbus, Judd and Hirst – names that a lot of young curators and collectors may already find old and quaintly traditional — that’s what happens when one endorses the “new” rather than what’s good. To some, Arbus, Judd and Hirst may already belong in the company of the Matisses and Oldenburgs.”
