Is this the first strictly USA matchup? Though I suppose as a midlife emigre Gabo could still be counted as a European artist. On the other hand, aren't most USA-ians immigrants by heritage? I'm voting for Gabo.
Gabo!
Gabo gabo
Gabo!
Gotta go with Gabo.
Gabo Gabo Hey!
Give me Naum. If the other guy wins, I will be pissed. Those are cool sculptures. Looks like future robot impressionism.
Gabo, definitely.
On the strength of that first blast of color, I'll join the Sam Francis faction!
Umm....
I mean, I'll start the Sam Francis faction!
Gabo.
And Gabo takes it with a vote count of nine to me! He'll be moving on to Second Round Elimination this week.
