'I cannot describe or explain these works. I would suggest that their very nature and seriousness denies instant communication. They will not reveal all their secrets immediately. Some will remain elusive, a dusty mirror withholding secrets, that is their essence. Don’t expect instant gratification. Look at these paintings as you would listen to music.(…) Music doesn’t illustrate emotion. Though a title may suggest the direction of the composer’s thoughts. So it is with painting.' M. Gooding, John Hoyland, Thames & Hudson, 2006, p.115. Artist's Resale Right may apply to this lot.
