ArtTalks: David Salle from American Federation of Arts on Vimeo.

In his AFA ArtTalk at Christie’s on November 16, 2010, David Salle provides a rich context for his work in a wide-ranging, erudite talk in which he weaves references to Gertrude Stein, Edmund Wilson, T. S. Eliot, and Frank O’Hara, as well as other artists.

Poem

Posted on by mrpainter

Feather cake for birds served table side
And fruit for us our group burning wood
Rain subsided now ground roots and stone
Surround softly holding tea and warm bread
