Cecily Brown

To my surprise in the recent issue of Best Life Magazine, probably not a typical magazine that one might pick up and expect art coverage, is an article called: 10 Artists Every Man Should Know (Find out who among today's art-world superstars are built to last. Plus, how to become a collector. By James Frey).  You don't have to be a dude to read this spread though.  I actually thought that the art knowledge was pretty acurate to be in a men's magazine...sometimes art info is watered down to the basics but this author knows his contemporary art.  One of the artists featured is Cecily Brown.  I fist saw her work at the Whitney Biennale a little over a year ago.  She is a great abstract-figurative expressionist painter. Be sure to check out her work.
