I do go to MOMA is SF occassionally. It drives me crazy. 40 ping pong tables on a wall is not art. However, I go to try to level myself. I would say better myself, but I am not sure if that is accurate. It does drive me crazy though.
Basically John, your take is correct. I am a numbers and patterns guy. I like to think I can appreciate art, and I will say again that there has to be a baseline for this. The iconic card was the baseline and other than the player, oma is disrespecting this. Not all cards. The Clemente was just a great take and a few others as well. Frank Thomas is my collection piece, and I think oma disrespected the the project.
I also think others have done the same. I don't like the Trout Haircut card either. I don't like the Fucci Williams. Horizontal vs. Vertical doesn't bother me. I see the argument as all 1955 were horizontal layouts, but I am fine with a reimagining the positions.
The 1984 Mattingly by Jamieson has been my favorite for "reimagining" by swapping the images. Simple, but beautiful. I also like the Shore Mattingly.
I am old and stubborn. I try, but I fail. Let's move along until oma screws with my Henderson collection
