So I went to the Whitney Biennial this weekend and was thoroughly disappointed. I certainly expected to be, considering all of the bad things I have heard from hearsay. I wanted to see for myself. I have no idea where the future for art is going. There were a few pieces that I liked, but the rest were lackluster for me unfortunately. If I had any doubts about being an artist before, this is just the icing on the cake. I did see a few paintings by my newly found favorite artist Karen Kilimnik. This was one of the paintings which I nearly drooled over. I wanted so badly to take pictures but the guard just eyed me with disapproval, so I didn't. I had to find this picture online which doesn't do the painting justice at all but it'll have to do for now.
All things I love, like and dislike, but mostly art

Honestly, I just looked up some of her work, and I really think she could do better than that. The few interiors that I could find of hers just looked unfinished, and not as planned and thought out like yours :)
