UP-DATE:<\/strong> just after I posted this, there was a New York Post newsflash: 2 young boys had just died in Queens, they had fallen victim to a house fire \/ caused by ‘unattended’ lit<\/strong> candles.
\nthis severely spooked me.
\nand not only because it’s supposed to be ‘Fire Safety’ week here in NYC, seriously !! <\/p>\n

but I had just<\/strong> posted a studio visit with Nicholas . . that featured his digital image of a boy playing with a lit<\/strong> candle !!
\nwith the accompanying words:
\n“yeah, Nicholas . . go set that house on Fire !! break down the status quo walls.”<\/p>\n

!! !! !! !!<\/p>\n

GREENPOINT OPEN STUDIOS vs SOTHEBY’S ?!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought it was a pretty fun coincidence to open the Wall St. Journal the very Monday after I went to Greenpoint, to see this ‘4 square’<\/strong> screen print by ANDY WARHOL pop up, coming hot on the heels of just catching NICHOLAS STEINDORF’S 4 square<\/strong> digital image of a ‘boy with man head playing with fire’, a lit candle. a lit pipe, in his studio.<\/p>\n

and, also in almost the very same<\/strong> color range – bye the way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNICHOLAS STEINDORF, 4 square composition, digital imagery, approx 13 x 19 in. FALL 2014.

\"\"<\/a>
\nANDY WARHOL, 1974 – 4 square composition, silk-screen of SAO SCHLUMBRGER . . to be auctioned off by SOTHEBY’S this fall. it has a pre-sale estimate of $2-3 million.<\/p>\n

first off:
\nwho the hell paints . . SOCIALITES any more ?
\nI mean, not even JEFF KOONS does.
\ndon’t mention current affairs either, the biggest fear Andy and his pals had . . was passing out at Studio 54. don’t even bring up . . Ebola & the top-notch Dallas confidence-inspiring hospital ER response, NOT. making news headlines – this week.
\nhmm, ANDY died from medical incompetence too, during what should have been routine gall bladder surgery. <\/p>\n

but Andy loved reading the NEW YORK POST.
\nit was his favorite read. no doubt, he would have loved this recent headline: SHARPTON LAWYER “HUNG LIKE A CASHEW” – !!<\/a><\/p>\n

damn, that Warhol was such a modern guy, up on the tabloids – and killed off by medical incompetence.<\/p>\n

p.s.<\/strong> it’s interesting to remember Andy’s stats: born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – in 1928<\/strong>, and died in New York City, in 1987<\/strong>. Andy actually died, 59 years old !! – probably just before, or maybe in fact . . just when Nicholas was born !! in Wisconsin. <\/p>\n

p.s.s.<\/strong> of course, the ‘4-square’ – is a basic quilt pattern, called the ‘4 patch’ – it is essentially, the mother of all quilt invention !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\na basic 4 patch.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nand, it just keeps on – evolving !!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
