—Kara Walker, commenting on Jen Graves’ piece exposing artist Charles Krafft as a white supremacist and Holocaust denier. His work, which often uses NAZI imagery, has always been assumed to be “ironic” until now.

(Walker responded in the comments after being named in the piece—her remarks are collected here; it’s confirmed the comments were made by Walker here.)

He makes ceramics out of human cremains, perfume bottles with swastika stoppers, wedding cakes frosted with Third Reich insignias. Up-and-coming artists continue to admire him. Leading curators include him in group shows from Bumbershoot to City Arts Fest. His work is in the permanent collections of Seattle Art Museum, Henry Art Gallery, and the Museum of Northwest Art, and it’s been written about in the New Yorker, Harper’s, Artforum, Juxtapoz.

Horrors upon horrors.

ETA Piece is by Jen GRAVES, not Nedeau, apologies
