Not sure if she's considered "uncommon." But if "uncommon" means away from the Mainstream knowledgebase like Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Anne Geddes, etc, then I think she fits the bill. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- |

 too easy
but laurel if you want warhol info i have it open right now, just finished typing it up You could do Steve Kaufman who worked for Warhol and is a very busy and active artist right now. He actually completed Warhol's unfinished commissioned pieces at the time of his death. He does a lot Warhol-inspired pop art. I have a few of his pieces and he's really quite an interesting guy. http://www.stevekaufmanar...n_page.htm http://www.stevekaufmanpo...folio.html http://www.ultimateart.co...aufman.htm Another favorite of mine is Ron Wood, the guitarist for the Rolling Stones. I think he does some great stuff, mostly portraits of other musicians. He actually joined the Stones to pay for art school.

 I'm probably too late to help with your assignment, but post-modern (contemporary) art is my specialty!
Ed Ruscha and Joseph Bueys are both good suggestions, albeit a bit overdone, imo. Do you want a post-modern artist, or just someone post-1945, or someone contemporary (within the last 20 years)? My suggestions Post-Modern: William Kentridge*, Yinka Shonibare*, Cai Guo-Qiang*, Yasumasa Morimura, Matthew Barney  , Xu Bing
Post 1945: Bruce Naumann, Warhol, Tom Wesselman, Yves Klein, Carl Andre, Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, Lee Bontecou, Louise Bourgeois contemporary (last 20 years): Lorna Simpson, Kerry James Marshall, Chuck Close, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, Gillian Wearing*, Catherine Opie*, Richard Prince*, Jeff Wall, Sarah Sze, John Currin*, Paul Pfeiffer*, Jeff Koons I have researched and given tours on exhibitions for all of the artists marked with * and I wrote my MA Thesis on Kentridge, so I have a lot of info on those artists if you need/want it. I also have notes/files on most of the others because the museums where I've worked have pieces by those artists in their permanent collections. Just orgnote! EDIT: Okay, in my excitment about post-modern art, I missed the part about you already finding someone AND the part about how it should be 'uncommon' in terms of popularity. So for the most part my suggestions are not good---except Sarah Sze. Love her! Anyway--if you need any help with the rest of the course, just orgnote me, seriously. What textbook(s) are you using? Fineberg's "Art Since 1940"? I would love to see the syllabus/bibliography for the course. . [Edited 3/4/08 16:20pm] | |

kara walker is a great example, and i'm sure it would be easy to research her. i know of at least two books about her that i see in bookstores all the time.
another idea is matthew barney. he's CERTAINLY unconventional. | |

LOL yeah. i'm absolutely disgusted he wasted an entire class having us watch it. i know i'm a geek, but for fuck's sake, i expect 3 hours of lecture and slides/powerpoint, not a movie.  | |

 You should have watched "Who the F*ck is Jackson Pollock?", at least that was a documentary.
My first semester of grad school everyone in my program was required to take a seminar called The Projected Image. Most of us had studied art history as undergrads and were in a master program about modern art. We didn't look at one. single. slide. for the entire course. (Oh, the irony of seeing zero 'projected images' in that course.) We also had to read Gilles Deleuze's books on cinema and didn't watch any of the films he discussed. When we asked the professor if we could take one class to watch whatever film he was like, "I'm trained as a philosopher--we're used to thinking about things in the abstract." 
The best part of the course was that it was on Friday afternoons from 4pm-6pm and by the time it ended we were all so annoyed we would go to the bar afterward for drinks and bitching, so we got to know each other. | |
