Finally, after a busy winter term in which I had to teach 3 courses for the first time in a number of years, and a spring spent reading the proofs and indexing my latest book, I have had time over the past month to return to work on the archive. The biggest addition is a new page devoted to a discussion of Brown’s evolving process and practice. As with everything in the archive, this page is a work in progress. If you knew Jack and discussed his practice with him and have insights into it that are not discussed in my overview, please contact me and I will revise the page and credit whomever has important ideas to share.
I have also continued the detective work necessary to make sure that the catalogue of Brown’s works is as complete as possible. I am happy to report that I have found images of 1 further Grimm painting and 4 later works of his partner Herb’s Sigman’s handwriting. I have continued to go through slides and archival materials. This research will lead to further additions to the Works on Paper and Ephemera pages in the near future.
I have also been hard at work on the third paper of a planned 5 essay collection exploring all phases of Brown’s career. This piece focuses on his middle period that begins following the Human Head’s series (1989) and runs to roughly 2002. I hope to have it posted in the next couple of weeks.
Thank you once again for visiting and I am always happy to receive new content that you might have.
