On Robert Ryman and the impossibility of one painting.
Conversation
The first time I saw his work was at a Gary-curated show at SFMoMA in the early 90s. Blown away, of course. So maybe I'm not totally disagreeing when I say that I've stood before single Rymans and almost broke into tears. Maybe they each recall the whole for me.

He's my favorite contemporary painter and I know he's no longer contemporary. Gary always promised to introduce me but it never happened.
