Don't know about your local art critic, one of Art Writer's local art critics likes to rave about Donald Judd. Donald Judd manufactured boxes. Ousmane Sow makes sculptures of human beings. I almost never hear Sow's name mentioned in art discourse. I have never seen one of his actual works knowing him only from books, the internet and from Rick Steves's travel show (Ousmane Sow sculptures were once in the background of a segment on Paris). If Sow suddenly becomes the thing (which would be wonderful), please remember you heard about him here first. And then you, like me, will have loved him before he became hip. Always that.
