Tbqh everything I know about sturtevant’s balls I learned on the internet
mlobelart.bsky.social Michael Lobel @mlobelart.bsky.social · May 10
And for a deeper dive: Sturtevant, "Johns Painting with Two Balls," 1987. If you asked me to say more about the construction of the Sturtevant work I'd reply: "I don't know- ask @greg.org" greg.org/archive/2023...
Painting comprised of largely abstract gestural marks arrayed across a vertical surface separated into three sections; two balls have been inserted into the space between the top and middle sections. The title "Painting with Two Balls" 1987 Sturtevant" is written in caps across the bottom edge of the work

Favorite hybridizers: Grace Sturtevant, America's First Lady of #Irises. 'Pink Jadu', one of Miss Sturtevant's later varieties from 1931. A lovely plicata of white dotted lavender rose. 🌱 The light ruffling is quite pleasing.

On this topic, see Amy S. Kaufman (@askaufman.bsky.social) and Paul B. Sturtevant's book The Devil's Historians: How Modern Extermists Abuse the Medieval Past (2020).

BTW, I've had no luck finding a French publisher to translate it yet, but if anyone is interested, I'm ready to translate it!

Far-right groups are co-opting the aesthetics of the Crusades for their own objectives, transforming an obsession with feudal justice into a campaign for a White Christian nation.

Far-right VA State Sen. Glen Sturtevant (R) threatens that "we will literally not show up to vote in the midterms." In other words, he's threatening us with a good time! LOL (Sturtevant's district, btw, appears to have gone for Spanberger on 11/4) bluevirginia.us/2025/11/satu...

Christian reminded me of Sturtevant's great story about Warhol asking her to make one of his piss paintings, it comes at the end of one of the most intense artist talk q&a sessions I've ever seen. Walker audiences are not here to play youtu.be/5m5XSHgKARI?...

“It’s deeply problematic we’ve come to a place where we accept we should be in fear of a president who says … anything from outright lies to twistings of the truth,” Gov. Spanberger says of Sen. Sturtevant’s concern an aggressive SOTU response may hurt Virginia’s relationship with federal gov’t.

I think I've been rather smartly trolled. I gave my methodology class a final paper assignment on the topic of appropriation in art, with the caveat that Warhol and Duchamp were off-limits (too obvious/repetitive). So one of my students wrote, quite well, about Elaine Sturtevant's "Warhol Flowers" 😆

a) Sturtevant's a right-wing extremist
b) Absolutely nothing Spanberger has done so far has been even remotely "reckless"
c) Sturtevant has no clue what "reactionary" means; it actually refers to arch conservatives like him bluevirginia.us/2026/01/vide...
Far-right-extremist VA State Senator Glen Sturtevant (R): "Day 1 of the new administration was reckless. Rescinding the order requiring cooperation with ICE and purging Republicans from UVA weren't the "moderate" approach. Crime from criminal illegal aliens puts Virginians at risk. Targeting volunteers for firings because of their political party isn't unifying. Because of these Day 1 reactionary moves, the new governor has now put federal funding directly at risk and did nothing to address making life more affordable for everyday Virginians."

Sturtevant's a right-wing extremist and nutjob, so...not surprising.

Sturtevant's "A History of Genetics" (1965) touches on this briefly but gives the "official version".

The Whitney Museum acquired Sturtevant's repetition of Felix Gonzalez-Torres' "Untitled" (Blue Placebo), which is a wild work to exist, and to have in a museum collection. Been trying to figure out what I think about it. greg.org/archive/2023...

Marcel Duchamp hung Surrealist works on revolving doors in 1938, and Sturtevant hung Duchamps on Duchamp Revolving Door in 1973. But also, MoMA had full-on photo replicas of the Duchamp works that couldn't travel to their 1973 retrospective. Thanks, curator-scholars! greg.org/archive/2023...
a photo of the surrealisme exhibition duchamp designed in 1938 with paintings hanging on a revolving door, underneath a ceiling covered with coal bags. a mannequin is visible in the doorway in the background. via elena filipovic's dissertation sturtevant's duchamp revolving door as installed in 1973 in everson museum, under her duchamp 1200 coal bags ceiling, with some of her duchamp 2-d works on paper, etcl visible, mostly the mona lisa-related ones. the revolving door was destroyed, according to sturtevant's 2005 catalogue raissoné. this image was taken from christopher murtha's 2021 masters thesis on sturtevant's installations and duchamp. marcel duchamp's large glass visible through a doorway, with a potted plant behind it, but wait, that's not philadelphia, it's moma, in 1973, and that's actually a full-scale transparent photo replica of the large glass, made for moma, the existence of which i've never heard of, but frances naumann is probably bored of. anyway, this image is worth a trip to moma archives from whence it came another installation shot of moma's marcel duchamp retrospective from 1973-74, which was delayed by a strike, btw, which art transporting teamsters would not cross. anyway, a fullscale photo of duchamp's door in a corner that works on two doorways is on the corner, next to a large plexi doorway that's just leaned up against the wall, which features the silhouette of two figures huddled together cut out of it. a sketch of the same is next to it, and two works i can't make out. moma's archives and installation photos are gold. thank you for your photographic service 50 years ago, kate keller

Sturtevant's a case study in the radicalization of formerly sane, "moderate" Rs into extremist MAGA nutjobs - in Sturtevant's case, presumably b/c he calculated (correctly) that this could be a path to success in the MAGA GOP for him. Sadly, we've seen this character arc with many others as well...

Love that post on Doriani, whom I hadn't known about before. Also, your post reminded me of Janis's garmento (in your words) roots, which suddenly made me wonder if that might be one point of reference in the clothes rack of Sturtevant's Bianchini Gallery installation

On the academia->industry side a real champion has been Dr. Nathan Sturtevant. On the left a figure from Sturtevant's "A sparse grid representation for dynamic three-dimensional worlds" (2011!) Dragon Age work and the right "Pathfinding and Abstraction with Dynamic Terrain Costs" for Nightingale.

Miss Sturtevant's varieties, coming out of her New England garden, did not always perform well in warmer climates. They need that deep winter cold to really thrive.

is closer to Sturtevant's go-go dancing platform than Felix's, and my family was like

Y'all, the catalogue from Sturtevant's 1973 exhibition at the Everson Museum in Syracuse is rare enough without people chopping it up and forging her signature on individual pages to sell online as "original" prints. greg.org/archive/2024...
the cover of sturtevant's 1973 everson museum show catalogue designed to look like a crappy xerox collage of a dozen marilyns in a frieze at the top, sturtevant's own name a couple of times in janky bleeding font, and some blown up details of text from her repetition of duchamp's wanted poster. this example is from tim byers art books, at the 2019 ny art book fair. please don't chop it up an 8.5 x 11 page from sturtevant's everson museum catalogue with a quartet of her warhol marilyn heads kind of dematerializing in the crappy xerox copy vibe of it all, even though it was offset printed. there is a forged signature of sturtevant on the bottom, from one of three or so bottom feeders on live auctioneers dot com who specialize in faking signatures and selling pages from books as original artworks.
