Really love this book of photos that Benjamin Katz took of Gerhard Richter at work in the 1980s and early ‘90s.

— His cat and then-wife Isa Genzken appear frequently
— The squeegee only makes one (I think?) appearance
— The candles look awful in b&w

The Hiroshima Museum of Art owns a very strange, very moving painting by Henri Rousseau, 'View of the Fortifications' (1909). Night is falling, but it's not dark yet.

Extremely cool that our local fire station, FDNY Engine 5, has a poster of Charles Demuth's 'I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold' (1928) on the wall. Amazing, still-underrated painting.
