I’d like to see Chao Shao-an (1997) again in full context also, although his paintings are rotated in the permanent collection galleries.

I have been working over a reply to his piece in my blog. The devil, they say, is in the details, and while he may have SOME of the details right about blockbuster shows, there’s a devil of a lot of detail that he left out. I would love to know what shows he thinks would have been shown at the de Young in place of King Tut? As for the Asian – I’d love to see a larger show on modern Korean art or a huge exhibit of the works of Chao Shao-an. I’d love to see ukiyo-e or an exhibit on the Floating World in all it’s glory. I think that it would also be interesting to somehow group your exquisite examples of early Cambodian art (i.e., the sculpture) and link them with the upcoming show of the art of Burma and Thailand. Their massive simplicity is in intriguing contrast to the more elaborate work from the collection that I’ve been seeing on your blog.

I think that line could pass as renga too.

I guess you can look at both as classics, the rap and tutankhamun.

“sad rap” reference? I don’t think so. That’s a classic!
