“Painting by Richard Patterson: Half Minotaur, 2000 (Oil on canvas)” / Timothy Taylor Gallery / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.14113.SQ
Richard Patterson (born 1963 in Leatherhead, Surrey) is an English artist and one of the Young British Artists (YBAs).
YBA is essentially a collective born out of a group show which successfully got its relevant media attention because of various marketing strategy of getting “important people” to notice them. Before the age of Internet / social media, getting “taste makers” to give a positive review appears to jump start your career quite nicely.
So what is the significance to his green butt of a toy minotaur figure? If you somehow fell in love with the YBAs many years ago then you would love it regardless what is on the paint. For the recently initiated, I do not see much in this judging purely from a singular art work point of view.
It is cute. That’s about it. If you are looking to art as a financial investment though, it is worth a look.
