John Blackburn obituary | The Times
This obituary of an ‘acclaimed Sixties abstract painter who fell into almost complete obscurity only to be rediscovered by an art consultant in 2002’, takes a couple of quite unexpected turns, not the least of which is : “While worldly in some respects, his understanding of the machinations of the contemporary art world could be rather naive, a result of working in isolation for much of his career. Financially this was not a problem because by then he had become a successful manufacturer of teddy bears.”

Tehching Hsieh’s art of survival in America
Tehching Hsieh's one year performances required some serious commitment. My personal favourite is No Art Piece 1986 where he abstained from making or looking at any art for one year.
from July 1, 1985, to July 1, 1986, abstain from making or looking at any art (No Art Piece).
if i was still teaching art i would make this a requirement for every student

Hermann Nitsch (1938-2022)
Zo. Dus Hermann Nitsch is ook dood. Eigenlijk had zijn lichaam opengesperd op een rek vastgebonden moeten worden. Dan had het, met enkele naakte vrouwen en mannen, een berg broden en vissen, druiven en tomaten, kilo’s ingewanden en een paar honderd liter bloed nog één laatste ‘performance’ op kunnen leveren en kregen de dieren uiteindelijk toch hun revanche maar het heeft helaas niet zo mogen zijn.

Tehching Hsieh
No Art: een jaar lang verbood hij zichzelf om naar kunst te kijken, erover te praten, schrijven of lezen. Sinds het jaar 2000 is hij naar eigen zeggen met pensioen.
