Don't hesitate if they're obscure. Most artists don't get
national/interntional recognition until after they're dead. But it will be
interesting to see if there is ANY agreement/consensus on LIVING/working
artists.
Mine would include David Bates, Jerry Surls, Ann Stautberg, Dale Chihuly,
Benini....
Also, (really obscure) emerging artists Terry <T.Bouch.> Bouchillon (OKC),
Steve Kimball (LA)
Don't think 2 hard/long about it... these are off the top of my head.
Anyone even heard of any of these artists? Or, do we ONLY consider
artists/RE: their contribution after they're dead?
In the process, I also thought of a number of recently-deceased favs...
Keith Haring, Sean Earley, Richard Avedon....

I'd have to say Cy Twombly. DeKooning is alive but a victim of
Alzheimer's disease.
Recently-deceased! sounds fun, could start up a top ten of recently-
deceased favorites, what would the 'recently' time span be?.
I will add to this top ten Helen Chadwick (UK), who died last year.

Yes William, I agree with you Don Van Vliet.
Although I've only seen his abstract work in publications. I've not
yet been lucky enough to see his paintings in a gallery & unless they
come over to England I probably never will!
I remember him better as the great Captain Beefheart & his Magic
Band. I saw him twice & own all of his recordings; his music was very surreal.
I mention him on my home page www.users.zetnet.co.uk/wfurlong/gaynor1.htm
Regards, Gaynor
