The Saatchi Effect (Lethal For An Artist?) Charles Saatchi has bought up all of Royal Academy student James Howard's work in one fell swoop. "The question is, who wins? Saatchi gets a bargain - three years' work for the rock-bottom price of £4,500 - and Howard gets notoriety, so it would seem that both of them have a reason to smile. Yet more than a few artists have suffered at the hands of Saatchi's generosity in the past." The Guardian (UK) 06/26/07
On The Undeniable Power Of "Demoiselles d'Avignon" "Even Picasso's loyal patron Gertrude Stein deemed the picture a 'veritable cataclysm.' And you know what?" Peter Plagens asks. "It's still pretty ugly. Well, maybe not ugly-ugly, but certainly hard to take. Even with generations of artists trying mightily to out-rad it ... the painting refuses to go down smoothly. That's only one reason, though, why 'Demoiselles' is the most important work of art of the last 100 years." Newsweek 07/2-9/07
