Iceberg Slim, pipe
2024 / Icon
AvailableDescription
A portrait after Iceberg Slim, pipe in hand — the laureate of a city that does not give awards.
Artist Statement
The painting borrows a figure from the underworld of American letters and paints him with the seriousness usually reserved for a senator. A study in how the wrong city sometimes produces the right saint.
