Thinking About Cincinnati

I am missing at least a couple of slides from this series. I know there was a square painting, and then the one of Proctor and Gamble factory. If anyone could send me a photo, I would really appreciate it.

And while I have your attention: I once saw the title painting of this show hanging in the lobby of the Art Academy with a different frame on it, and I swear, the painting looked like total crap. It’s like whoever made that decision decided to trash the artist’s decision and meaning, turning the painting into a dorky looking sentimental piece. You should never, ever, ever change the frame on a painting that was framed by the artist. The black and white frame in this show obviously had deep meaning. Framers in Cincinnati have like zero experience with respecting artists (my experience with very notable Cincinnati framer) and most are most probably just in the business of selling frames, more than happy to remove the inexpensive cheap frame, for something of quality (destroying the investment value of the painting in the process). Though some of these slides were shot before framing, all of the paintings in this show were framed in black and white by the artist.
