When you love something, you pay attention to it. Loving an artist after they’ve died, and attending to their estate—the art they’ve left behind—means physically caring for their archive, building context for their work, and placing it in exhibitions and collections. While Jimmy DeSana was on his deathbed in 1990, he asked Laurie Simmons to oversee his estate. Since 2013, Danielle Bartholomew and I have helped her care for Jimmy’s work. For us, as artists, this labor is just as important as the time we spend on our own practices.
