Dying For A Long Delayed Nude
I love everything about this piece; from the point of view & featured nipples, to the fact that it's drawn on tracing paper.
Drawing For A Long Delayed Nude, by Tom Wesselmann, will be up for auction at Sotheby's September 10th. Auction estimate, $10,000—15,000; so I will likely only get as close to it as this posting.

that's hot, I love those nipples
the head thrown back shows submission, which I like
Wesselman sucks, he's just someone who uses the same idea over and over again, is he any better than a cartoon pornographer? Any gallery or museum who gives him a show is just selling out - compare Wesselman to his art world peers and you'll see that he just doesn't cut it.
It is difficult to debate art with one of three anonymous beings, but as I disagree that Wesselmann uses the same idea "over & over again" -- at least no more, not less, than any other artist.
Remove the series, the same "questioning", and what you have left is a man who has not only employed the same artistic style over a period (or number of works) -- but one who has changed style as well.
As for "cartoon pornographer", that's one big can of worms -- and hidden inside, usually, is a can of whop-ass.
