  • Catalogue Essay

    History is really a dangerous feld to go digging in. But when you do have an idea, then it’s very useful – to go get information or to revise your work, or to revitalize you. If you look at the hundreds of heads in the Capitoline Museum [in Rome] they are incredible. Just to look with fresh eyes, as if they were done today, not with the tunnel of art history.
