It is also one of my favorites images. It is from Dario Gamboni's book "The Destruction of Art: Iconoclasm and Vandalism since the French Revolution" - as I remember the vandals had written "flatten" on the work. A great photo to go along with a discussion of pedestals as power.starwarsmodernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128785816151813198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93722064719555333.post-67822403039104053192010-10-01T03:12:15.793-07:002010-10-01T03:12:15.793-07:00I guess Lenin statues being pulled down post-Berli...I guess Lenin statues being pulled down post-Berlin Wall seemed a bit too obvious for the final image?

Princeton and MIT are probably not good candidates either. I would give my eye teeth to teach at a CUNY... Its a wonderful idea, but I may need to leave the East Coast to teach this one.

My introduction to art theory was in Jaudon's seminar - she introduced me to the habit of collection quotes (which I know do somewhat obsessively).starwarsmodernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06128785816151813198noreply@blogger.com
