. . . artlovers weighs in - on another NEW YORK TIMES ART REVIEW - of the same FRIDAY - SEPTEMBER 26, 2008.
. . . that on RITA ACKERMANN by KAREN ROSENBERG.
” . . . The works in Rita Ackermann’s ‘Don’t Give Me Salad (Nurses)’ chew up and spit out the pulp fiction female stereotypes embodied in Richard Prince’s much-hyped ‘Nurse’ paintings. (Ms. Ackermann makes no overt references to Mr. Prince’s pictures, but the comparison is inevitable).”
well, not so sure that - the comparison is - “inevitable” - to Mr. Prince’s oeuvre - but, if you put a ‘joke’ tagline - under the show’s cartoon-y card image - well, voila - a Richard Prince - ‘Joke’ painting !!! most of them, way better than his ‘Nurse’ paintings - anyway !!
. . . “oh oh, the economy is tanking - bring on the nurses !!”
