R(esurrected) in Peace

I heard about the death of Alexander Mcqueen during a editorial shoot. Everyone on the set held a minute of silence for the master.

 In a recent interview with artist Joe Bradley, Fox explicits his position:  “ The early nineties was another death-of-painting period and to be making expressive paintings that had nothing to do with appropriation was going against the tide. Fro...
