BBC Story
You are not encouraged to pay the $2, but the independent also has the story. With a controversial twist as Howard Hogkin is making the claim that Caulfield will be remembered more than Lucian Freud. Caulfield certainly has more going on in his work then the master craftsman Freud. And is the case with most Salon painters, in life they are loved, afterward, not so much. Read the abstract HERE
Another briefly discusses Caufield in terms of Roy Lichtenstein, whom he was incorrectly labeld as a follower of. HERE
See a great selection of his work at the TATE website. Other museums should be half as good. And they’ve already updated his dates.
Also to note, the BBC picked up Ed Paschke’s obituary last November
