There is no question that a list like this can cause more problems than it can solve. That is its purpose: to ask questions at this time. To pause and reflect. To remember and appreciate. Artdeal apologizes for the thousands of omissions, for being skewed, revisionist, and even unfair. This was inevitable. An attempt was made to avoid playing favorites, to acknowledge the impression an artist has made on his or her time, on the general public, and on other artists, without prejudice. By all means leave your comments on the message board and curse us for this capricious, arbitrary, and random damage, let us know where we went wrong, and help us do the impossible and maybe get the absurd right. Thank you.
