How long has Fred Tomaselli been doodling on the front page of the Grey Lady? I seem to remember this from him when I lived in NY and that was 6 years ago. For those that came in late or can't remember it turns out Fred started altering the Times in 2005 with ex-Worldcom chief Bernie Ebbers and hasn't looked back. Nearing 10 years of this he now has a book out with a selection of the best. And a show at James Cohan Gallery on W26th Street.
There are quite a few newspaper covers in this show. For more check out the gallery's website here. I couldn't resist selecting Putin as Pussy Riot for the blog. A great take on contemporary affairs. As well as the newsprint he has quite a few larger works like Head 2013 (above). This 230 x 170 cm work has mixed media under resin and then Fred paints again on top of the resin. A great technique. Loved it all. Points here.
