My name is Alex Teplitzky. I am a curator, art historian, and dj based in New York.  I started this blog as a way to bookmark artists and art.  Find out more about me on my website alexteplitzky.com.

“One of the top ten art blogs on the net!” - one of my friends

When talking about this blog with friends, people traditionally refer to Tout Petit La Planète simply as “the tout petit,” “tout tout,” or just “the tout,” (ie. “Have you seen the newest post on the tout petit?” or “I can’t wait to dump my girlfriend so I have more time to browse the tout.”)

MISSION STATEMENT: the purpose of this blog is threefold: (a) to encourage and enable authenticity, authorship and artistship by providing attributes and links, where possible, to every art work displayed, thereby ennobling the internet as it intersects with the art world; (b) to bring to light artists under appreciated and lesser well known, and art works that may have been over looked by the more popular artists; (c) to recreate the simple pleasure of viewing well-curated art with little to no information in the same way that one may do so in a museum-setting.
