JEFFREY DEITCH . . presented a mini-retrospective of Walter’s work, this past SEPT 2016.
in his large space on Wooster St. in Soho.
it really helped move Walter’s work . . up the food chain.
here’s 2 shots from that landmark exhibit:

WALTER ROBINSON . . early spin paintings, 1986.
enamel on canvas, 36 x 36 in.
Walter’s spin paintings . . are SO !! friggin’ off the chart !!
so friggin’ intense – they seem to predict . . . CGI / digital animation.

WALTER ROBINSON . . acrylic on bed sheet paintings, 96 x 66 in.
pulp fiction themes / Walter’s signature genre.
these seem to be the paintings, which Vito is showing in his St. Moritz / high-end digs right now.

LOL: bet Walter is on speed dial, now . . with his new BFF Julian (Schnabel) !!
these are some of the many early, Walter Robinson paintinings, me and R.I.P. hubby SIMON CERIGO, . . owned back in the early 80s . .

WALTER ROBINSON, ‘Revenge’, 1982. acrylic on canvas, 40 x 30 in.
PHOTO: HELENE CERIGO LUPATKIN, MD

SIMON CERIGO, R.I.P . . at Kate or Theo’s kiddie birthday party, ca. 1988 ?
note the WALTER ROBINSON canvas to his left.

back in the day:
Kate, me (NANCY SMITH) and SIMON CERIGO – in our storefront at 5 Rivington St, just up from the Bowery.
Lower East Side, NYC. ca. 1991.
note the WALTER ROBINSON canvas – to the top right.

we even had a WALTER ROBINSON ‘pharmaceutical’ painting in our kitchen. ca. 1994.
