...canvas dripping color like a pair of wet blue jeans, has a classic simplicity that suggests Mark Rothko or even Henri Matisse. For years, critics have been mentioning Majerus in the same sentence as contemporary giants like Ellsworth Kelly, Claes Oldenburg, Sigmar Polke, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol - if only because he stole shamelessly from them.

But what was great about the Velvets (and Andy Warhol) is that they were so fantastically good at being ironic about irony. Is it meta? Sure it is. Is it the only route left for cool? Probably. 6. “Louie Louie” by The Kingmen. A roommate of mine once related a story where the FBI spent years trying...

In the past 18 months Sotheby's has created a stand-alone modern-Chinese-art division, and Christie's showcases the art alongside such modern masters as Andy Warhol and Willem de Kooning.
