Plz help ID this painting (colorful and abstract!)

I would but I got the pic from someone's profile and cropped them out of it.

I asked him what it was but he just said "Art Basel show" and apparently this is all the information he can provide.

i don't think it's riley but i couldn't tell you who it is - fwd'ed pic to art nerd friends of mine who might be more helpful?

yeah be surprised if that was riley

looks like later period Bridget Riley?

I was thinking Stanczak...

ok so my one friend thinks it's a latin american artist from the 60s possibly

Carlos Cruz-Diez ?

This just in: it was Art Basel Miami Beach

like i actually know this i just cant

Ps you never told me if you were a fan of Hoyland or not

Stevie is there much more of the painting in the cropped-out portion?

I don't even know why I'm asking ;_; but goddammit this is driving me nuts.

A bit. Someone tell me a free iPhone app I can blur stuff out with and I'll upload it

it's an early diego rivera.

lost caravaggio iirc

I did that in Photoshop

yeah i'm pretty sure it's a shop

aaaannd we're nowhere.

maybe by ruling out what it's NOT we could narrow it down? I'll go first. It's not a sculpture. :D

ugh curse you Stevie I'm totally obsessed by this thread now.

it's an early diego rivera.

doesn't look like his abstract stuff afaict

curse you Stevie I'm totally obsessed by this thread now.

Well we need SOMETHING to keep the suspense w/o Heidi, Michael and Nina.

the whole catalogue is online

http://artbaselmiamibeach-online.com/index.php5?path=Home%2FArtworks&Action=showProducts

yeah and the dumb painting isn't in there --- I spent all last night looking through it. >:(

And that online catalog is only 2010 - we don't know what year that painting was shown, do we?

all i know is that i found some pretty dope shoes because of my googling:
http://kix-files.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/adidas-consortium-zx-7020-w-1.jpg

seriously though trying to find an anonymous abstract painting at "basel miami" is a tall order

good luck

Ha xp those remind me of my shoes

this is a totes famous painter but i cant decide whether its like late '60s or early '00s

like, i sortof hate u right now bc this is killing me

60 surely

haha yeah i was thinking "this is either from fifty years ago or five years ago"

The color mix and style keep telling me sixties but RARRRGH ...

Yeah Stevie you might win a place in the "Innocuous Things that Make Me Irrationally Angry" thread yet :)

also learned a lot about latin american geometric abstraction today, thanks to this thread

And THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT HEIDI KLUM

also learned a lot about latin american geometric abstraction today, thanks to this thread

Carmen Herrera holla. (It's not her, though.)

Wd def go to Miami Basel now, online catalog is awesome!

Still mad at u tho, Stevie :D

Tried doing a reverse image search; results seem inconclusive.

i cant check but r u sure i didnt post this on the thread: monochromes and hard edged abstraction?

ok this is beginning to drive me apeshit

i cant check but r u sure i didnt post this on the thread: monochromes and hard edged abstraction?

If you did it was separate from this; the painting was in someones profile pic

I am hoping that one day the full crop is revealed and the guy is holding up a GET A BRAIN, MORANS! sign

(or a beer can)

fwiw i think latin is a red herring reads as mclaughlin/feitelson contemp or a washington color field dude. thing is i have seen this more than once.

leaning cali

I tried Google Goggles and it came up with this suggestion:

http://images.cosplay.com/photos/15/1592573.jpg

yeah, i thought mclaughlin

larry zox comes close too but yeah this doesn't seem very new york-y to me

i am going to go the getty and demand they tell me the answer to this btw

do it. for all of us.

yah ur on the same page as i am joe def, i feel we are close

this is not the right board to ask about this.

try here: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/

this is great, but also, what's going to hold ilx together if it's going to keep solving its long-standing mysteries??

We'll have to post another mystery painting.

I'm going to sleep well now finally. Well done.

He seems to be famous for 'agamographs', which change depending on the viewer's angle. It's hard to tell if the piece in the original post is one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgzDKwDJxhY

I think the original is not an agamograph (I spent more time than I should have staring at the shadows on the original pic, can't see any suggestions of the ridges). I do like the thought that we might have seen the work in online image searches for ages, but *from the wrong angle*.

Are there any other threads similar to this that try to identify poor resolution art work/posters from the past?

Kind of like a song ID but with a terrible quality graphic?

Might as well use this one?

can you help me identify this image (crappy blow-up from bad snapshot of wall of my HS bedroom, circa '72)? pic.twitter.com/u1ta5I7FIp

Kind of looks like a movie poster or band poster?

this seems to be his dealer, if someone wants to contact them to confirm: https://www.parkwestgallery.com

Stevie, did you ever get a follow-up from this?

holy shit did I not follow up on this??????

is this thread de-indexed?

Probably not. Make a mod request.

Dear Steve,

Thank you for your email. I am really sorry but I can't help you and unfortunately 6 years ago we also did not have our online catalog.

All the best
Fr4nç0is Cr01ssant
Gallery & Project Manager

oh THAT email, no, I did not get a response

oh man, when you wanted the thread de-indexed, I thought it was going to be some elaborate adventure like they invited you up to the gallery to see the actual work of art and then you shagged on top of it or something.

Fr4nç0is Cr01ssant

Wait, surely this is not a real name that needs googleproofing?

Apparently so, seems to be the guy in the middle. ttp://cdn.worldredeye.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/31-Benjamin-Grappin-Francois-Croissant-David-Meier.jpg

I don't want Fr4nç0is to find this but hand to god this is literally his name, you can google him even

Dropped an h! http://cdn.worldredeye.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/31-Benjamin-Grappin-Francois-Croissant-David-Meier.jpg

that is an all-time name

I've heard he can be flakey.

I've heard he's pretty flakey.

Well, I knew it wasn't very original.

Oh shit, that was me!

lol

WAIT SO THIS IS *STILL* A MYSTERY?

wtf Stevie why are you trying to kill us

Holy shit @ monsieur Cr01ssant! I hope he's been entered into either the best or worst real names thread (I cannot decide which it should be).

Well, I knew it wasn't very original.

You could maybe try this thread?
Help me identify the cover artwork on this wall I found in a photo of a bedroom on a property website.

I've spent a while trying to google this and Stevie's original q (like, many pages deep in Google image search every time the thread is revived) but no luck, alas

(also lol at jed's image)

Thanks APS.
