Not liking the new guys this week, so let's bring out the knives! Daubigny and Chase will get my positive votes, and Koons and Juss will get negatives.
Poliakoff, Judd, Chase, Daubigny
Òne for Daubigny and Hamilton. One against Soulages.
And although I feel dirty for saying it, one point for Koons.
Yep, Chase and Daubigny are looking good in this crowd, but I still like Poliakoff also.
Koons, Judd, Chase, Daubigny.
Daubigny, Chase
Susan says "Judd, Chase & Daubigny.
I actually liked the Jeff Koons "Puppy" the summer it was at Rockefeller Center. But I have a close friend, an artist/craftsperson, who loathes Koons to such an extent that I can't vote for him! "
Michael5000 says Chase & Poliakoff, quixotically in favor of Soulages, and perfunctorily against Koons.
I don't have time to vote in this art tournament, I'm too busy building the foundations of an industrial economy in northern Europe.
