Like any work of art, and especially any three dimensional work of art (although they are all three-dimensional in some measure, of course), it improves upon personal acquaintance. In the present instance, I was impressed by the felt fabric of the suit, which would clearly not hold up to the wear and tear of, say, being worn by someone engaging in an hour's worth of the normal activities of daily life. This somehow made it much more interesting.<br /><br />And, my vote remains with Bingham.<br /><br />Bingham hardly needs my vote, though, as he thrashes Beuys 9-2. He'll advance to take on his countryman George Bellows in what is expected to be a greuling second round match!</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-32798331932675640772012-10-06T15:46:37.305-07:002012-10-06T15:46:37.305-07:00And Bellotto trounces Bellmer, 9-1, in the first o...<b>And Bellotto trounces Bellmer, 9-1, in the first of the pairings.

I wish you could've captured his performance piece where he was covered in honey and talking to a dead rabbit. I also found I could really relate to him. I mean, I too fabricated a story that after a paratrooper accident I was nursed back to health by nomadic Tatar herdsmen.
