Many thanks to the Art Fag City technical support team who helped me put together a site to be proud of. Jeff Kirsch in particular deserves props for moving the blog archives over to the new site. He answered every question I had with expedience uncharacteristic of most in his profession. House of Pretty is responsible for the new look of AFC, which I absolutely love! Finally, the indispensable Barry Hoggard graciously provided advice every time I peppered him with questions and has had an overall calming effect on my nerves.

By October of 1996, they had [raised] the princely sum of $60,000— enough to cover their expenses for the first year. (Now, 12 years later, they have to sell at least $80,000 every month to cover expenses.) Via: Bloggy

Robert Rauschenberg, Titan of American Art, Is Dead at 82 - New York Times

“PGh0bWw+PG…” previously in the place of this link; technical error, or homage to Rauschenberg? You decide. From the obit. “Anything you do will be an abuse of somebody else’s aesthetics.” says Rauschenberg, “I think you’re born an artist or not. I couldn’t have learned it.
