Lot Essay

'Before the 1980s, practically no one could live from making art and no one expected to. So everyone had to earn their money somewhere else. And if there was no art scene, then I would still cut out pictures and paste them down somewhere'
(H. P. Feldmann, quoted in 'Hans Peter Feldmann and Kaspar K/uonig in conversation', https://www.frieze.com/issue/article/hans-peter-feldmann [accessed 18th September 2013]).
