Image description |
A black-and-white scan of a page of The New York Times newspaper, folded in half lengthwise. A translucent geometric pattern is visible across the image, with washed out pinks, greens, blues, and yellows. The visible story is a continuation from the story featured on the first arts page, titled "Foundation's New Prize To Honor Artists Under 35." Above the title is a photo of Victor Pinchuk, a Ukrainian businessman and art collector. Below the title is six images of "artist-mentors:" Andreas Gursky, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Takashi Murakami, and institutional board members Nicholas Serota and Glenn D. Lowry of the Tate and MoMA, respectively. Each of the six figures has a color wig, bright lipstick, and two have glasses, giving each a goofy appearance. |
