In 2005 Mike Bidlo made sixteen intricate replicas of Willem de Kooning drawings of women, and then erased them to make sixteen replicas of Robert Rauschenberg's Erased de Kooning Drawing.

“This photograph is quite fun,” I say. “Was it staged?”

“Yes, this was for a Swiss art magazine that did a story on the East Village,” Andreas replies. “I knew Gracie already at the time — we were friends. She dressed up in this Mike Bidlo Jackson Pollock dress, and the necklace she’s wearing I believe is a Rhonda Zwillinger piece,” he explains.

“We just played around," he says. "There were these strange wheels outside, these tires that somebody had popped all over the neighborhood.” He continues, “The picture just came out of that playfulness, really.”

In 1990 artist Mike Bidlo thought he was copying Clyfford Still when he exhibited a blank canvas in a group show. But actually, Clyfford Still only threatened to exhibit a blank canvas to get the curator of the group show to leave him alone.
