“I was getting tired of hearing the complaint, “My kid could do this,” and “We don’t get it. What’s modern art? Blah, blah, blah.” And I wondered what would really happen if you gave people what they wanted, something they always look at.” John Baldessari (via myeyesareshutandclosed)

Robert Mangold, 1/4 manilla curved area, 1966

From the National Gallery of Australia:

Mangold’s paintings of the mid-1960s are closely aligned with Minimalism in their object-like treatment of the painting support and impersonal paint application. In the pictures which he called ‘Walls’, begun in 1964, he eliminated painted images and cut asymmetrical ‘doors’ and ‘windows’ out of wood sheets and sprayed the surface with paint to produce a nuanced monochrome. ‘Areas’, which he began in 1965, were even more Minimal. Composed of standard masonite panels butted together, the support as physical object could not be overlooked. As Mangold said, ‘whatever other structural decisions were made I knew the work would have a seam very four feet’. In the summer of 1966 Mangold further increased the contribution of the support in the ‘Area’ paintings by shaping it. The painting ¼ manila curved area— a typically dead-pan inventory of the physical attributes of the work — is composed of two sheets of plywood-backed masonite butted together and cut along the bottom edge to form a quarter segment of a circle. The surface is painted with oil paint thinned with turpentine and sprayed on with an airbrush. The colour is brown manila

From the Pace Gallery’s Press Release:

James Turrell: Roden Crater and Autonomous Structures will be on view at 32 East 57th Street from March 15 through April 20. The exhibition will focus on the Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in the Painted Desert of Northern Arizona that Turrell has been transforming into a monumental work of art since the 1970s. One of the most ambitious projects ever envisioned by an artist, Turrell’s masterwork will convert the inner cone of the 400,000-year-old crater into a massive naked-eye observatory, designed specifically for viewing and experiencing skylight, solar, and celestial phenomena. Pace will present bronze and plaster models of spaces within the crater, as well as photographs of the project by Turrell, including the first known aerial photo of the Roden Crater, taken from the artist’s plane.
