This is just me trying to trick myself into memorizing this.
Ursula VonRydingsvard makes large wooden sculptures in which she burns, saws, and chips away to make the blocks upon blocks weird looking (technical art term?)
Robert Adams takes black and white photographs of Americana's interruption of the landscape. Ugly content but beautiful pictures.
Mark Dion's work questions the value and importance of history and artifacts. He finds things, and places them in cabinets in any kind of order. Dug in the Thames river and displayed the trash he found. Loves flea markets.
Mark Bradford makes god-awful paper collages. They are big.
Robert Ryman paints white paint onto white squares of paper. "Philadelphia Prototype" He's an old man who has been making art since forever, so we give him a break.
Laylah Ali makes pastel colored, flat cartoons. They have creepy baby teeth.
Krysztof Wodiczko has a cool name. Makes VERY large projections of faces or hands, on old buildings.
Nancy Spero is a cool old lady who takes her drawings from her youthful rebellious days. War protesting. Disembodied heads. Ribbons of blood.
An-my Le is a vietnamese woman who pays guys to re-enact the Vietnam war, as authentically as possible. She participates by playing her part and hiding from them, taking the pictures of 'military' in action.
Alfredo Jaar does commentary of violence in countries forgotten about. Rwanda. People forgotten. A large lit up table filled with photo slides of people who survived.
Jenny Holzer makes words scroll on walls.
Laurie Anderson is a superstar artist. Plays with neon lights and violin. Rides around in a ridiculously big Lazy boy chair.
Richard Serra makes undulating steel sculptures of single sheets of steel. Way huge.
Sally Mann takes naked pictures of her children and it kinda freaks me out, but they are beautiful
Margaret Kilgallen loves folk arts, and mimics it. She uses the typography from old handpainted signs. Loves handpainting flat images.
Barry McGee is a graffitti artist. His characters look strung out and drippy.
Pepon Osorio is Puerto Rican and comments of masculinity in his Barbershop and Jail installation. He made a travelling piece that was like a doll house.
Christian Boltanski uses lightbulbs to illuminate old photos of dead kids.
Gerhard Richter makes beautiful oil paintings that look like photographs, but then in a big sweep, messes them up. They are still cool.
Louise Bourgeois makes bronze dicks and arms. And a spider.
Gilbert and George are hilarious and make the best shit.
David Salle is a total 80's artist. Tacky, colorful, and dated.
Ericson and Ziegler's work is based on domesticity. They made an historic home covered in camouflaged, but still in the assigned color palatte. Took seedbags from a farm and sold it as art. Gave the money back to the farmer. Helpful art. Community art.
Janine Antoni likes to chew on things.
Vito Acconci whacks off and bites himself and by god, it's art.
Joseph Beuys uses felt and fat. Teaches a dead hare about art.
James Luna is a native American who loves the stereotype.
Sherrie Levine takes pictures of other artist's paintings/photos/sculptures and this is HER art.
Ana Mandieta works with the earth's materials to create her body's silhouette.
Andres Serrano peed on Jesus.
Haim Steinbach takes items from stores and puts them on his original shaped shelves to make people come to a conclusion as to what his statement is.
David Hammons makes random things. I don't even know, or care
Ida Applebroog likes to use canvases presses together. The paintings are usually two toned, and the eyes are usually obscurred somehow, behind glasses or goggles (my own personal observation)
Maya Lin makes quiet zen-like outdoor installations. Public ones.
Carolee Scneeman likes naked people holding meat, and blood.
Felix Gonzales-Torres' boyfriend died of AIDS and his work is probably the saddest and most heartwrenching. A pile of candy that's the same weight as his boyfriend lie in the corner. the viewers are urged to take a piece. The museum replenishes it at the end of the day. His work speaks of the impermanence of life. Really sad.
William Wegman has a thing for dogs.
