American Newspapers And More On The Death Of The Artist Ilya Kabakov Comments

Kabakov. Like myself they'll go on line and look at his Art. If it was a ‘Minor Celeb' on Day time TV all Teeth and fakery who died, he would be all over the ‘Press' with the word ‘Genius' attached to his name.

If you're poem has done anything, it's for more people to become aware of

I like the description of him as an 'apartment astronaut' in your poem 'ALICE GOES INTO THE PICTURE.' There is an article about his career and death in ARTnews.

The media silence on a significant art figure is chilling. Let us hope that it is because the lives of artists in general are not deemed newsworthy?

I like your pluck and rectitude. Please send this poem to newspapers along with an overview of the artist's career. This is an important side of your poetic voice.
