  1. Congratulations! That's exciting.

    You're awfully nice for such a trouble-making name-dropper.

  3. Dumas is below-average and overhyped.

    She is second-rate.

  5. Wouldn't it be more trenchant to have a photo of yourself with one of her works,if you are such a fan?I think it really cheapens art to have all this paparazzi stuff around it-and seems a bit juvenile,as well.

  7. Yes art should remain pure. My goodness. How dare ANABA muddy the waters! Art has nothing to do with the cult of celebrity. We are all pure aesthetes. There is no hierarchy in art. There are no big name artists or blue chip galleries or museum retrospectives, or gaudy top 100 lists, or mind bogglingly high auction prices. ANABA should be ashnamed of itself. What a freaking whore you are Martin!

    This is true, of course.

    I'm not an art blog expert, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is one of the most friendly, most interesting and least "cheap" ones around.

    I like the anaba paparazzi.

  13. I'm not entirely a fan but I think she is often extremely original. She's made some very, unique and singular images. She's a little like Edvard Munch for me in terms of both pros and cons.
