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.

Nauman'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.
I think both of these artists offer pretty poor value by the square foot, but I'll go with Newman.
Nauman. At least there is stuff going on. I mean beyond a straight line or two.
I'll join the marginally enthusiastic Naumanists.
Newman - I like those big-block-of-color artists.

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

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