A great deal of food for thought. I am intrigued that we all use the same examples in photography. The same handful of photographers, all of whom have left the fold and gone to the big commercial galleries to achieve higher price points. Sherman, Gursky, Prince, etc. they are all sold at the 'super galleries' and all are collected by exactly the same people who collect Flora Yukhnovich. These photographers are not sold along-side other photographers, but compete for wall space with Hurst and Basquiat. They are sold to Hedge-fund managers, AI bosses and other uber-wealthy trend setters who are looking for the piece that everyone will talk about during their next cocktail party. I much prefer to read about how you are trying to convey something with your photographs that is about how you see and feel. Almost autobiographical. Not out to satisfy the buyer, but setting your own agenda and doing work that speaks to you. I admire that! Lovely post!
Thank you for your fascinating article, I have been thinking along not too dissimilar lines. Thank you for an introduction to unfamiliar artists. Take care…
Always thought-provoking. The difference between photographs making order from chaos and paintings creating chaos out of order. Photographs enclose whilst paintings grow. Both capable of suggesting surface tension, of course. Not a fan of the New Rococo I’m afraid or, with a couple of notable exceptions (i.e. Fragonard), the old one.
