A longtime hero of mine. iPhone photos of photos from the catalog accompanying his 1996 MoMA retrospective.

A hero of mine as well. I can't remember the name of that technique, where wax is mixed in the paint, but it's incredibly badass.

Hero indeed. I've had the '61 Map of the U.S. as my phone's home screen for as long as I can remember. Well played, sir.
