For our latest #MoMAMixtape playlist, Le Tigre founder and art critic Johanna Fateman removes the color but keeps all the soul.
“I wouldn’t normally choose something colorless by the color-field painter, but I don’t regret my black-and-white rule. I love this lushly dreary, faintly turbulent two-tone rectangle, with its suggestion of an inky horizon. A song comes immediately to mind: Television’s ‘Marquee Moon.’ This song’s airy clarity…seems to evoke an appropriate air of melancholy and portent, an ambiance of myth, if not quite Mark Rothko’s sweeping sense of the tragic.”
