  1. Googling showed me that Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation" album cover uses Richter artwork. I was going to vote for him anyway.

  6. I can't believe you're bringing in a frosty, ice-skating mile for Richter, of all people, unless you're hiding a spectacular winter landscape somewhere.

    Ribera.
