Digital BW, The Print

I was amazed that the SF MOMA had in their permanent "holdings" a collection of very large "white on white on white" and some plain old "WHITE" canvases hanging on the wall in an exhibit of the permanent collection.    I thought "My tax dollars bought that!"  

I wish they would not "beholding" that type of art when so much more enjoyable (to the Proles...of which I am one) art exists and is under exhibited and appreciated.  I am thinking of some of the realists who were neglected during the 70's and 80's.
