{     George Condo "Christ: The Subjective Nature of Objective Representation" at Luhring Augustine Gallery     }    

George Condo never fails to delight me. This show largely concerns itself with the crucifix. But the best painting is one of the Holy Father himself.

It's in the back all by itself, lit dramatically. God looks like a really happy hippy with an over-the-shoulder hip sack and as you might expect Condo's painted him huge.

If this doesn't make you laugh you take church WAY too seriously.
