W November 2009 The Art Issue, R. Robert Crumb, Private World of Ingmar Bergman, Yoko Ono, Chuck Close, Stella McCartney, Roni Horn, Steven Shearer

Will Robert Crumb's return to America (beginning in October), spark a revived interest in his art?

It is purely a speculative personal opinion, but it seems that this eminent artist’s return to the U.S. would arouse interest in his work here. Back “home,” Robert Crumb would be more accessible and so would his work.

I would love to see him be invited to the White House. Maybe a short session in the Rose Garden, where Robert and his wife, Aline Crumb, could both do a quick sketch of President Obama. The sketches could be printed and the proceeds could go to foster Jazz or fight climate change…

My suggestion: Mr. Natural greets the President…
