<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 9435688, member: 255&quot;]I’m with you Drew.&nbsp; Steve Keene is an absolute must for all of us who collect lowbrow. He’s a perfect combo of OCD, post Pop, Outsider etc. No apologies here, and how many of the naysayers have had a show at The Santa Monica Museum of Art (granted a small institution but still-good enough for a Beatrice Wood retrospective too…)numerous galleries etc.?&nbsp; I don’t know about you guys but I was hanging out in the downtown NY clubs when Haring, Basquiat, Scharf, etc. were still tagging trains but starting to get recognition. Stupidly my husband sold the Haring way too early. I remember all too well how everyone was dissing them back in the day. Keene is obsessed. You can hate him (and all lowbrow) that’s fine but give the guy his due. Funny story, another one is Shag…commercial to the hilt. We owned a large painting. Still have a small one. [ATTACH=full]437169[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437170[/ATTACH] Submitted it to a respected auction house in the early 2000s and got a “don’t ever waste our time with crap like this”. A few years later walked into said house and saw a half dozen on display for an upcoming auction. Since I personally know the auctioneer, I called them on it and their POS response was “Too early is as bad as too late”…gimme a break.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW Our Finster is a prized procession. We were actually supposed to be married by him in 1980-arranged by his dealer-the legendary Phyllis Kind. Got sidetracked and never made it to Georgia but still have our small sculpture. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s the two SK paintings we still have…[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
