if any magic wishes are offered to me. .

I think I would seriously consider wishing for the opportunity to become friends, real, close friends, with Anselm Kiefer. I could be his administrative assistant, cook and bottle washer, tidy up daily. Anything to be able to absorb some of his genius.

I would also happily be servile to Gerhard Richter, eh? Any great genius.

I'm not talking about lust for the men. I lust for their artistic energy.

Kiefer is, and has been for almost ten years, my all time favorite contemporary artist, even above chicks. It is uncharacteristic of me to favor a male but Kiefer is special.
