On the themes of Your Very Flesh, Groceries, and Gratitude
Gratitude- Waxed and dyed newspaper with acrylics and ink; 28" X 32" - This piece was executed on the weekly Stock Market snaphot from the first week of November, 2008 when the market was in a tailspin. In the early weeks of the crash I saw a pic of a guy in a suit standing in front of his broker's office on Wall Street with a sign that said "Jump Fuckers", and that's where this one comes from. When I first put this piece out, I met a guy who told me that if his broker hadn't done to him what he had done, he'd be able to buy the piece without a problem. At the same time, he said if the broker hadn't screwed him the way he had he wouldn't have the level of appreciation for the piece that he did. As a result, he purchased it and while I was wrapping it he asked me if I intended to make reproductions of the piece. I told him I did and he asked me if I'd send his dad, whose birthday was approaching, one of the prints. In the days that followed I matted and framed a print of the piece for him and included a birthday greeting and mailed it to the address he had given me. A few days later I got a call from a guy in Florida asking me who sent the print. I asked him if his birthday was coming up and he told me no. My next question was of his profession. As you guessed- financial planner. I didn't relate my customer's name but I did contact my customer and he confirmed this was his way of thanking his broker for the handling of his accounts. - Chuck Kaiser
