Whoa- almost missed this vote and it looks to be tied. What power! I alone could push a neon artist to the second round! But alas, I lean slightly to Newman here, who, although does not appear to offer much range, I do like generally.

ReplyDeleteNauman's works made me feel something, although I don't quite know what. Newman's didn't make me feel anything. I'll vote Nauman.
ReplyDeleteI think both of these artists offer pretty poor value by the square foot, but I'll go with Newman.
ReplyDeleteNauman. At least there is stuff going on. I mean beyond a straight line or two.
ReplyDeleteI'll join the marginally enthusiastic Naumanists.
ReplyDeleteNewman - I like those big-block-of-color artists.

ReplyDeleteSusan formally abstains, as both are "just too nerdy."
ReplyDeleteNewman for me! I enjoy minimalism in the right doses.

ReplyDeleteChuckdaddy's vote counts!!! Newman will move forward on a tepid 5-4 margin.
