Found re-shots of Larry Clark, Pregnant Woman Shooting Up, 1971. Printed 1979 Original silver gelatin print, 12 5/8 x 8 3/8 inches. One of the most haunting photographs of his I saw today at C/O Berlin. Like a degenerated Vermeer, if the man would have had a camera. The exhibition is on view until August 12th. — I wasn’t in love with her. And she didn’t love me. For me the question of love was irrelevant. What I sought was the sense of being tossed about by some raging, savage force, in the midst of which lay something absolutely crucial. I had no idea what that was. But I wanted to thrust my hand right inside her body and touch it, whatever it was. Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun, 1992. Via.

His fetishization of fame and celebrity called out something that was already in the zeitgeist, and made it his bitch. In [Alex] Israel’s funny, harmless videos, you kind of get the feeling that the artist is the bitch; he’s made these awkward little Valentines to celebrity but their biggest draw is still, well, the celebrities.
