Plz help ID this painting (colorful and abstract!)

http://www.englishlit.pitt.edu/images/botero_monalisa.jpg

srsly tho when i first saw this shit i thought it was just an 'internet thing' and not the work of a much valourized irl artist

like

its bad in a way its hard to get worked up abt tho

is this by Guntur Fruhtrunk?

http://images.artnet.com/WebServices/picture.aspx?date=20081113&catalog=149564&gallery=110657&lot=01502&filetype=2

best guess yet imo!

at the very least fruhtrunk was who i think i meant when i said id seen these before. this is making a lot of the same problems for itself even if the resolutions are a little clearer.

miami basel says there was *a* fruhtrunk in the catalogue...

(crosses fingers) please please

but hes not in the online catalogue which could be why that didnt work

lol i thought of him when i was thinking of paintings to do Avant Hard (itt the pornification of western culture i think) with

artnet sez three different galleries represent him - someone send some e-mails!!

if we do get this i think that stevie owes us all an apology.

hey plax i'm almost convinced this was on an irish textbook cover in the pre-junior cert era. either that or someone i know owns a print

lol that would be really fucking weird

until someone consults a fruhtrunk catalog, there is keyword: miami basel 2010 on flickr...

Stevie probably removed his bookmark from this thread weeks ago, he's moved on now ;_;

No no i am Reading v v eagerly!

ugh the more i think about it the more i realise this fruhtrunk theory might be clutching at straws, like i was hoping it might be late fruhtrunk that ive never seen and maybe he decided to stretch his legs but the overall design of the painting is definitely off, It feels more like somebody borrowing p heavily from fruhtrunks vocab....

I bet that guy Just made it in Photoshop and inserted it into the photo

judging by the basel flickr sets there was a lot of really terrible hello kitty art this year

(lol as opposed to the good kind)

WE STILL DON'T FUCKING KNOW

I hate this mystery painting. It haunts my dreams.

1. The design is made out of a rhythmic pattern of vertical lines rendered in geometric, hard-edged style. This is some New York painter that you only see in old catalogues for some small gallery show where clement greenberg was involved somehow in curating that has like William Perehudoff in it or someone.

2. The design has irregular horizontals but regular verticals. The relationship between warp and weft suggests a design that could be spun on a loom or knitted. On the other hand, the surface could be read to be composed of patches of patter (the stripes are arranged into repeating patterns at sharp intervals) These elements of the formal design suggest traditional craft patterns, particularly crafts performed by women. This is by a feminist painter from the early 70s whose earlier work was quilts based on mourning coats made by civil war era widows.

3. Its hard edged but the colours are buzzy tertiaries. sortof reminiscent of commercial art, something that might be on the cover of a collection of contemporary poetry or a be-bop album circa 1968. The artist is a californian painter who was in a group show with lorser feitelson once.

4. The interaction between the consistent verticals and the inconsistent verticals creates a jarring optical effect. Some 60s op-art guy trying to paint himself out of a hole in 1984

5. The fading retro colours. The cool elegant verticals disrupted by the ungainly lopsided horizontals. The cheeky trickyness of the composition in relation to certain modernist cliches. Theres and overly hip reffing of different eras and a detatchedly archival attitude towards abstraction, this is a german painter who used to be part of the dusseldorf post-punk scene in the early eighties.

no im still not sure who this is.

i had a sneaking suspicion it might be ben jones but the colors are a little muted for him

also the miami basel online catalog appears to be down now :/

Theres something about the colouring that reminds me of childrens books and prints from the 70s of the kind we had in our house.

We need to email these people.

if nothing else, this mystery has seriously filled in a ton of my 20th-c. art historical knowledge gaps

we need to send it to Unsolved Mysteries.

I found this thing by Charles Biederman; what do you guys think?

i like it

it's upside down! (j/k)

(that was a maybe too obscure reference to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Bateau btw)

Do you guys think it's Karl Benjamin?

my only other close guess is tim bavington

ragh this painting!

After Forks found his rap song and Tuomas found his black & white movie, I'm kinda happy we still have this baffling painting.

not one of us has thought to actually check the basel 2010 printed catalog, huh

*hangs head*

not even the modern miracle of google's 'visually similar' search helps. pretty sure it's not, for example, this guy:

Saw an exhibit of this dude's work when I was in Buenos Aires last year. It's pretty awesome in person.
