    Bonington for Alison, Kiefer for me, but with mixed feelings from both.

    I like them both, but I like Anselm Kiefer more, at least today.

    Last time around I think I told about how we stumbled upon a Kiefer exhibit once and were blown away. His stuff is generally HUGE and impressive in person. It was his sunflowers exhibit we wandered into by accident, http://images.guggenheim-bilbao.es/src/uploads/2012/05/Kiefer_A_Girasoles-Tournesols_1996.jpg

    Kiefer.

    Just looked at this on a bigger screen and am going to flip my vote to the terrifying Kiefer.

    Chuckdaddy's flip snatched victory away from Bonington and handed it to Kiefer. Final vote total: 7-6.
