The Infinite Art Tournament, Left Bracket Second Round: P. Blake v. Boltanski!


A clash of the living!  Sir Peter Blake emerges from the Tiebreak Round having knocked out Victor Brauner, and Christian Boltanski re-enters action after a near-upset of Bosch in Round Two.  So if Boltanski almost beat Bosch, who has since beat William Blake, who has long since beat Peter Blake, does that tell us anything about the outcome of this match?  Only one way to find out...



Sir Peter Blake
born 1932
English






Christian Boltanski
born 1944
French

Trounced David Bomberg in Round 1.
Lost to Hieronymous Bosch by a single vote in Round 2 -- YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!!

Boltanski. Vive la France! Plus I'm in the mood for large installations.

And I'll go for Blake too. I think I have a prejudice, or a preference rather, against installation art.

This seesaw battle ends with Boltanski up by a two-vote swing, 7-5! He'll be taking on some Italian futurism in the near Italian future!
