  1. Man, what a weak part of the bracket. Relatively, of course, I'm not claiming either is *bad*.

    Polke.

  2. Pollock. I would probably choose the other guy if I hadn't seen a bunch of Pollock's works in person.

  3. I know Pollock is an influential icon in the abstract movement, but I'd prefer looking at Polke's works.

  4. I'm pretty surprised by the luke-warm reception Pollock has received so far. I think he's pretty great, and he's had some pretty weak competition.

  5. Pollock by a drippy, swirly, delicately counterpoised mile.

  6. Pollock prevails in a tough one there, and moves on to the Third Round with a margin of six to four.
