. . . whatever you might think of the CLEMENTINE girls, on a personal level - you have to give them credit for being the first, and the best venue - to give room to the new wave explosion of graphic/comic book/illustration art - that has come to dominate the New York City art scene.

who is going to take up the slack ? . . . gallerists !! better watch out - or - RED ROVER, RED ROVER - PICTUREBOX is gonna take over !!
‘GARY PANTER/GARY PANTER’ - a 2 volume, 688 page full-color monograph published by PICTUREBOX and available at the gallery, ($95).
