The court didn't specify what the five per cent penalty translates to in dollars.

So please allow me to point you to my own recent Lichtenstein ponderings (partly inspired by this): http://simonboing.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/roy.htmlSimon_at_Boinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556122055291618209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-24541552031633582822012-01-23T23:21:28.758-05:002012-01-23T23:21:28.758-05:00Am I reading this right, that Hilton Kramer felt t...Am I reading this right, that Hilton Kramer felt that the "High and Low" show paid too much attention and respect to the comics?<br /><br />My first impression is to be so shocked that I can't believe it. But on further reflection, I guess somebody has to stand up for that point of view, defending high art in its purity from any raggedy interlopers who might be seen as pulling it down from its pedestal in any way.<br /><br />I guess I'm equally surprised to hear that John Romita was offended and felt looked-down-upon by that same exhibition.<br /><br />As a young comics fan and art buff, aged 21, I attended that same "High and Low" show, and I think I still own the magnificent hardcover catalog from the show (or maybe it ended up at my sister's house, not sure really). At the time, it seemed to me like a revelation, like an opening up of possibilities, like an armistice in the war between my two great loves, allowing them both to flourish and to find inspiration in one another. I'm surprised to learn now that some people felt it was just another battle in that same war. <br /><br />But thanks for the information all the same, Mr. Campbell, it was time that I learned. And it's not like my dreams are entirely dashed; I still hold out hopes for that armistice someday.<br /><br />Peter Urkowitz,<br />Salem, MA, USAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-1420753045931152452012-01-19T09:37:30.532-05:002012-01-19T09:37:30.532-05:00Things came full circle when Tony Hendra took arou...Things came full circle when Tony Hendra took around a hundred Lichtenstein paintings and constructed a Romance comic book out of them called "Brad '61" <br /><br />patrick fordmr edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14502298398657797233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-20453747993472423952012-01-17T02:55:04.237-05:002012-01-17T02:55:04.237-05:00So where does that put Kaz' Underworld appropr...So where does that put Kaz' Underworld appropriation of Philip Guston's appropriation of comic strip mannerisms? And is this not largely an American phenomenon, where people would get on their high horse about this because money is being made?<br /><br />It strikes me that this really the 'Is it arT (cf Campbell)?' in another guise. For art you may pay top dollar, if you can afford it. But you're a fool to pay top dollar for not art. <br /><br />Is every subject art-worthy? You could say Roualt was a precursor for the sad clown genre. Would you downgrade Roualt's re-sell value to the proliferation of the genre?h.n.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14252947832976530597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-90620279152509886992012-01-16T21:43:29.973-05:002012-01-16T21:43:29.973-05:00(That is; you would appropriate comic-book panels ...(That is; you would appropriate comic-book panels for gallery-art purposes, if you were a hip young fine-artist in the early 60s, wouldn't you?)Myck Whitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-35680413058326074792012-01-15T01:04:37.132-05:002012-01-15T01:04:37.132-05:00Yeah but, you would, wouldn't you?Yeah but, you would, wouldn't you?Myck Whitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-31361816971075673102012-01-12T21:56:49.392-05:002012-01-12T21:56:49.392-05:00Interesting, I just wrote a review of John Logan&#...Interesting, I just wrote a review of John Logan's play, <i>Red</i> which is about Mark Rothko, but has a scene in which Rothko not only rips into pop-art but specifically singles out Roy Lichtenstein for his appropriations of comic book panels.Ian Thalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15348768867561450314noreply@blogger.com
