duccioI made an evening delivery into SF to avoid the Friday evening rush and made record time on the way in: exactly 45 minutes door to door. I delivered 6 painting stretchers, two of them were 90x72 inches - about the max size for my P/U truck. They fit around all the corners in the building and into the freight elevator with ease.
I arrived at 8PM and we brought the stretchers in and then lounged around talking about Marlene Dumas, Kiki Smith, Squeak Carnwath, Mark Bradford, others... She had tea, mixed nuts, dried apricots, and little sandwiches with humous, cheese and avocado. "You're the only person I know who doesn't like avocado", she said. I didn't tell her aboutmayo, butter, and milk, which gag the shit out of me even thinking about them... I'm gonna strike them out.
She has this great loft studio. It's not far from Grumpy's - another customer of mine - he's 80, hence the nickname. Here is upstairs I saw while viewing some paintings:
We talked about her work, and courage to keep on working, that it typically takes 10,000 hours (ten years) to become successful. She gave me this little collage/painting called Foot Care. That's her horse she keeps in Occidental down there in the corner.
We had a nice time.
