Thank you for this list. A few of them I am not familiar with so I will have to look them up.

You are welcomed PainterWoman. I am not familiar with many of them (200 names) too, I will do the same like you when I am free. I enjoy the Saatchi Gallery too. :smile:

I noticed the name Eva Hesse in the second part of the list. Her work was very different and I liked it very much. She used ropes, resin, latex and fiberglass in her sculptural pieces. One of my presentations at the university was about her.

Thank you for mentioning Eva Hesse. As first I thought she is a living artist, only to find out she is not. I love her works. I'll do a search and look at her works more deeply next time when I am free. Thanks and have a nice day!

Of course taste in art is very subjective...but I will have to look more of these people up :smile:
