The first one is the “real” work. It’s currently in my show at Ille Arts. It’s actually a portrait of De Kooning but looks more like Warhol and somewhat like my dad. That’s all ok to me. Gabor is my dad’s name. I made this show immediately following his death in late April. The small painting below is on sized linen. It’s a portrait of dad that I began after he died, while I was finding the subject of the new body of work. That’s as far as I was able to get on it and I feel like it captures him quite well somehow. So they are both portraits of my dad. -Liz Markus, 2012
