~RITA ACKERMANN/RICHARD PRINCE

. . . artlovers weighs in – on another NEW YORK TIMES ART REVIEW – of the same FRIDAY – SEPTEMBER 26, 2008.

. . . that on RITA ACKERMANN by KAREN ROSENBERG.
” . . . The works in Rita Ackermann’s ‘Don’t Give Me Salad (Nurses)’ chew up and spit out the pulp fiction female stereotypes embodied in Richard Prince’s much-hyped ‘Nurse’ paintings. (Ms. Ackermann makes no overt references to Mr. Prince’s pictures, but the comparison is inevitable).”

well, not so sure that – the comparison is – “inevitable” – to Mr. Prince’s oeuvre – but, if you put a ‘joke’ tagline – under the show’s cartoon-y card image – well, voila – a Richard Prince – ‘Joke’ painting !!! most of them, way better than his ‘Nurse’ paintings – anyway !!

. . . “oh oh, the economy is tanking – bring on the nurses !!”
