Get a life. If you don't have smart people working at important posts, you get drivel from idiots like Tyler Green, who can stay as conlict-free as the Virgin Mary and still not be worth reading. - posted by walter10021

With your lust for the lash, we should call you "Tailgunner Jen" -- it is people like you, and Tyler Green, and that moron at Art Fag City, who are handmaidens to fascism. The point is -- how's the work, good or bad? Viveros-Faune does pretty good. Can any of you say the same? - posted by walter10021
He's good. WHO COULD IT BE? Oh, here is a walter10021 commenting on an article on De Montebello, quoting Artnet... and another commenting on the blog of Artnet editor Walter Robinson's brother, Greensboro News & Record editor John Robinson.
HILARIOUS.
Funny funny post Martin. I got a nasty comment about a single sentence blog entry I wrote in which I accuse some artnet writer I never heard of of kissing Gagosian's ass in an article they wrote.
ReplyDeleteThe comment was filled with unambiguous praise of artnet and was a complete dismissal of me and my blog. I am almost 100% certain that an artnet writer wrote the anonymous comment (a la Lee Siegel).
Thanks Martin! You made me laugh.

hi chris - sure, i like your blog. ps - it is at the top of that list for now, but later it will get alphabetized (just so you don't think it disappears).
ReplyDeletei have no idea how many people might click through those links... but the blog chris is talking about is MW Capacity, focused on painting, especially "no-coast" painting.

That is definitely Walter Robinson. I have emailed with him and that is his non-artnet account. Odd that he doesn't just sign his full name because obviously no one is fooled.
ReplyDeleteGod Walter Robinson's a jerk. If he didn't run one of the worst publications on the web, he'd never have a job.
