- Storm Tharp, Pigeon (after Shunsen) (2009), ink, gouache, colored pencil, graphite, charcoal, and fabric dye on paper
Yesterday I got an email from PDX Contemporary Art, which represents Storm Tharp, the Portland artist in the biennial. It had four images of the four paintings he'll have in the show attached; a second email announced that after the show, the paintings will come back to Portland (freshly revalued, of course) for sale. Tacky? Then again, the paintings are something.
UPDATE: Vanity Fair sleepwalked through, declaring it the Ambienalle (with pics).
