In Thelma Golden's words, "These artists don't need me, they really
couldn't care less about what I do." The April Artforum looks in on the

"Black Romantic," the show that promises to be the most controversial of
the curator's controversial career. Director of New York University
American Studies program Andrew Ross discovers a world of artists that
overlap little with the ones that typically show up in Artforum's
pages--artists who "hold pride of place in the personal collections of
Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, Spike Lee, Jesse Jackson, Maya
Angelou, and Eddie Murphy."
