Guess the Artist

Your clues this week are:

• The artist is American and studied at Berkeley ... but not studio art. Engineering.
• Part of the 1950s Beat Generation, the artist's friends included Burroughs, Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg, Kienholz, and Rauschenberg.
• Sixty years later, the artist remains a staunch beatnik and continues to hold rent parties.

And


• You are looking at an assemblage here. If you were to look at any of the artist's other works, they, too, would be assemblages. Why? Because there is poetry in found objects, Daddy-O. (If you can dig it, snap your fingers.)

Please email me your guesses over the coming week. I'll post the winner and correct answer with next week's guessing game. Good luck!
