I noticed in the latest Art In America that Will Cotton has a show up in LA. What I don't understand is how someone can get up day after day to paint the same painting. I am envious of his discipline but I can't help wondering just how empty is this guy? On the Warhol scale ( with Michelangelo a 1 and Andy a 10), I would have to give Mr. Cotton a 9.5.

Now Clemente, currently showing at the soulless Mary Boone Gallery, is a very different problem. He is extremely talented and has produced some incredible work, but he refuses to edit himself. He seems to have never passed up an idea and his extremely prolific production has left us with some awful drivel as illustrated in the above work. On the Warhol Scale, despite some woeful collaborations with Andy, Clemente would rate a 4.
