I'm just catching up on my reading and really enjoyed Laura Cumming's calm and thoughtful piece in the Guardian about the Tate Modern's recent decision to remove Richard Prince's re-photographed image of a naked underage Brooke Shields. Cumming's draws no conclusions, but some of her other examples are shocking (like the Australian who was convicted of possessing child pornography after he was found...

I was asked a few questions by a student journalist at City University London recently.. 1) First of all can you tell me a little bit about your work ? What themes do you explore in your art and why? What do you strive to achieve through it? I basically just paint what I want, how I want. I have no social or moral message to give. I stopped selling paintings 18 months or more ago, with no intention...
