You might be interested in my new book, PAINTING A HIDDEN LIFE: THE ART OF BILL TRAYLOR (LSU 2009). It warms my heart too that Bill Traylor is on your list.

I would include Matisse without question. And Newman, but that's my own perversion--Palermo is a nice touch. I might include more photography--maybe Stieglitz (or Kertesz, or Man Ray) and Eggleston. Smithson is a very strong consideration. Why not Sol LeWitt or Chuck Close? Benglis is such an anthology maven--always included, always with the dildo. Personally, when forced to confront the ugly truth that my list is wretchedly male and white, I will gladly and honestly add Vija Celmins, a true master, and the late great Shirley Chisholm, ignoring the fact that she was primarily a politician (I like to think of her as a performance artist par excellence).

I'm suprised Nauman isn't on there. Bengelis...good choice, not only for her hard-core formalism, but for her hard-core dildo shot. Still, just for the breadth and variety of his work, Tuttle beats Bengelis in my mind. I don't know Paul Thek or George Herold or Bas Jan Ader. I was going to include Laura Owens but then I thought she might be too 21st century. I was also going to include Rachel Harrison. I still might include Philip Guston for his wild shift in gears mid-career. Picabia might also win the shifting gears award. good list…
