1 cent life in the National Gallery of Australia as an undergraduate student and he blew my mind.

I completely agree with your assessment of his career, and find the CoBrA era-work engrossing while I can take or leave the later stuff. Very funny about his signature, too — my guess is that he signed all 1099 copies of My Shit & My Love.

You’re right, 2 Cent Life (in which his poetry is visually interpreted by the full range of American and European Pop Artists) is his great achievement. But his own artistic development is also remarkable. After producing what I think is his best work in the CoBrA/Abstract Expressionist style, he completed changed, producing beautiful (but to me a bit bland) images of horses/birds/flowers/nudes with a Chinese brushwork aesthetic. And he was also an indefatigable signer of books. It’s not quite true of Walasse Ting (as it is, say, of the early-C20th poet Victor B. Neuburg) that it is easier to buy a signed than an unsigned copy, but he certainly kept his writing hand busy.

If you like My Shit & My Love, Check out 2 Cent Life, the folio of prints and poems he collaborated on with Warhol and others just a few years later. Thanks for reading.

This no-bullshit style of Ting’s is so striking and sudden; very fun stuff. It rings particularly true sitting through this dreary, wet-gloomy holiday season in Seattle. Thanks Arthur for bringing this guy to my attention. I love his crazy-kid-style graphics too. What a find!
