Question

Yve-Alain Bois’s (EEV-ah-LAHN BWAHZ's) Painting as Model describes the “all-over” composition of a painting of this city as a “pas de trois” and connects it to the artist’s essay “A New Realism.” The chapter “Trouble in Utopia” in Robert Hughes’s The Shock of the New contrasts “Utopian city plans” with an artist’s “incorruptible” late-career paintings inspired by this city. Fritz Glarner photographed an artist's last studio in this city, which was rented out by (*) Harry Holtzmann. In 2022, Susanne Meyer-Büser confirmed that an unfinished painting titled for this city at the state museum of Dusseldorf has likely been hanging upside down, but it has been kept that way due to fragile tape.
