    Chamberlain is the only sculptor really using color, the full range, not just metallic shades; his color is as particular, complex and structural as any good painter’s. In part it involves the hard, sweet, pastel enamels, frequently roses and ceruleans, of Detroit’s imitation elegance for the poor – coupled, Rooseveltianly, with reds and blues.
    Donald Judd quoted in Pace Wildenstein, ed., John Chamberlain: Recent Sculpture, New York, 2000, p. 23
