BULLS & ROOSTERS
-acryl on canvas, 2013
What is a saleable painting? John Baldessari suggests that the motif is important. Paintings of cows and hens supposedly gather dust while paintings of bulls and rooster sell well. A gallerist whom Mark Kostabi used to work with was convinced that red paintings sell best.
The gallerist requested big and colourful paintings for this exhibition, despite my portfolio of white monochromes in small formats.
