Hobartto Renounce

Yes Hobartto, renounce!  Apparently Hobartto crossed the intellectual line. Pink Kant crucified makes even jaded old me gasp. The outrage.

This is one of those “only in New York” moments. An IKEA cabinet door vandalized into thought-provoking art. Only in New York kids.

Whether it is referring to a real piece of art or is the art is irrelevant. I see the Christian existentialist in serigraph. Fluorescent pink silkscreened on some gorgeously fibered gray paper. Much like a piece I own by Brian Wiggins.

I will digress as I always do. The Brian Wiggins piece is a silkscreen of a naked woman in blue with fluorescent yellow and orange spatters. The piece is damaged because the paint has released some kind of oil that has bled into the surrounding paper. I really need to find out how to have it fixed because it is my favorite piece of art that I own.

I have read a bit about conservation but really have no idea where to begin. I haven’t done anything without contacting a conservationist. Which proves that laziness can sometimes be a great thing. I really must look into it this week.

So conservationists, hit me up. Offer some help. Fix my stuff. Get on it.
