The only thing I know is that it was at Art Basel. Any ideas?

art basel has all their stuff online.

Yeah but there's like five thousand artists I'm going to have to trawl through

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 07:31 (fifteen years ago)

you can look by location within the museum too.

― /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\||||||( *__* )||||||/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ (res), Thursday, 23 December 2010 07:36 (fifteen years ago)

if you know what fair it is in, that might help too

― ☜(⌒▽⌒)☞ (jeff), Thursday, 23 December 2010 07:39 (fifteen years ago)

I have no idea where really, I just know "Art Basel" :/

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 07:55 (fifteen years ago)

I mean I wasn't there; I just found the photo

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 07:56 (fifteen years ago)

where did you find the photo

looks like later period Bridget Riley?

I just scrolled through the entire Art Basel 2010 catalog, and I don't think this work was in there.

I was trying to be all private eye and stuff and I started with the image's URL since I thought that maybe I could find the originating blog or something and then I wound up on someone's Twitter - and then I saw it was Stevie D's http://www.psfocus.nl/_images/avatar/20100120191851_smiley_ninja.gif - Duh.

― StanM, Thursday, 23 December 2010 16:11 (fifteen years ago)

xpost: I don't think Stevie said it was Art Basel *2010* explicitly?

― StanM, Thursday, 23 December 2010 16:13 (fifteen years ago)

Did anyone check MOBA?

― /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\||||||( *__* )||||||/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ (res), Thursday, 23 December 2010 16:13 (fifteen years ago)

xp u kreep.

I don't know if it was 2010; I will do some more investigating and see what I can uncover.

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 17:57 (fifteen years ago)

shit i know this

― plax (ico), Thursday, 23 December 2010 18:10 (fifteen years ago)

i can prolly tell u in like 48 hours when i get home and go thru my old magazines.

― plax (ico), Thursday, 23 December 2010 18:12 (fifteen years ago)

Hah I posted this thinking "I probably should just msg plax directly but I guess I'll open it up to everyone else too"

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 18:13 (fifteen years ago)

stuff you know nothing about

― No Wicked Heart Shall Prosper.rar (nakhchivan), Thursday, 23 December 2010 18:14 (fifteen years ago)

I would but I got the pic from someone's profile and cropped them out of it.

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 18:15 (fifteen years ago)

I asked him what it was but he just said "Art Basel show" and apparently this is all the information he can provide.

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 18:15 (fifteen years ago)

i don't think it's riley but i couldn't tell you who it is - fwd'ed pic to art nerd friends of mine who might be more helpful?

― where they douthat at (donna rouge), Thursday, 23 December 2010 18:36 (fifteen years ago)

yeah be surprised if that was riley

― where they douthat at (donna rouge), Thursday, 23 December 2010 18:47 (fifteen years ago)

Carlos Cruz-Diez ?

Ps you never told me if you were a fan of Hoyland or not

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 21:17 (fifteen years ago)

Stevie is there much more of the painting in the cropped-out portion?

I don't even know why I'm asking ;_; but goddammit this is driving me nuts.

― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 23 December 2010 21:19 (fifteen years ago)

A bit. Someone tell me a free iPhone app I can blur stuff out with and I'll upload it

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 21:22 (fifteen years ago)

aaaannd we're nowhere.

maybe by ruling out what it's NOT we could narrow it down? I'll go first. It's not a sculpture. :D

ugh curse you Stevie I'm totally obsessed by this thread now.

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:14 (fifteen years ago)

― No Wicked Heart Shall Prosper.rar (nakhchivan), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:19 (fifteen years ago)

yeah and the dumb painting isn't in there --- I spent all last night looking through it. >:(

And that online catalog is only 2010 - we don't know what year that painting was shown, do we?

― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:29 (fifteen years ago)

all i know is that i found some pretty dope shoes because of my googling:

― i love you but i have chosen snarkness (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:32 (fifteen years ago)

seriously though trying to find an anonymous abstract painting at "basel miami" is a tall order

good luck

― ☜(⌒▽⌒)☞ (jeff), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:35 (fifteen years ago)

Ha xp those remind me of my shoes

― cowboy bibimbap (Stevie D(eux)), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:40 (fifteen years ago)

this is a totes famous painter but i cant decide whether its like late '60s or early '00s

― plax (ico), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:43 (fifteen years ago)

― plax (ico), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:46 (fifteen years ago)

― No Wicked Heart Shall Prosper.rar (nakhchivan), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:47 (fifteen years ago)

haha yeah i was thinking "this is either from fifty years ago or five years ago"

― where they douthat at (donna rouge), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:48 (fifteen years ago)

The color mix and style keep telling me sixties but RARRRGH ...

Yeah Stevie you might win a place in the "Innocuous Things that Make Me Irrationally Angry" thread yet :)

― Square-Panted Sponge Robert (VegemiteGrrrl), Thursday, 23 December 2010 22:48 (fifteen years ago)

also learned a lot about latin american geometric abstraction today, thanks to this thread

Dear Steve,
Thank you for your email. I am really sorry but I can't help you and unfortunately 6 years ago we also did not have our online catalog.

― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 1 March 2019 19:18 (seven years ago)

oh man, when you wanted the thread de-indexed, I thought it was going to be some elaborate adventure like they invited you up to the gallery to see the actual work of art and then you shagged on top of it or something.

You could maybe try this thread?
Help me identify the cover artwork on this wall I found in a photo of a bedroom on a property website.

I think I spent some time researching this one too. Was all set to set-up a Victor Valera vs Victor Vasarely FITE but seeing the full piece and some of Valera's other works like this there's a textile quality to it I like but if it was a rug I'd be afraid of stepping on a dimensional portal
