Chris Burden: Big Pointy # 1: 2006

There is something to be said about viewing a show that highlights some of the most iconic pieces in contemporary art history. This show includes work by Richard Avedon, Richard Prince, Douglas Gordon and my emotional favorite, Chris Burden. Oh that infamous bullet!

1. The highest point, as of excellence or achievement; the acme; the pinnacle; the ultimate.

This weekend I read Ingrid Sischy's Vanity Fair profile on Calvin Klein's post Calvin Klein Inc. existence. It constitutes buying and decorating multiple houses and it is indeed an enviable life. There is a section in the article that gets into a bit of heavy lifting in arguing Calvin Klein's validity as a landmark American designer. It got me thinking...what is it exactly about Calvin Klein that stays on our minds? After all these years, the power of his imaging still haunts American fashion like the echo of a music that once kept the party going.
