Lot Essay

'I... refrain both from any hierarchisation and from a conscious evaluation of my pictorial inventory. This means that elements like Balthus, Vermeer, Tintin, Donald Judd, Donald Duck, agitprop, and cheap advertising garbage can flow together in a furrow of my childhood landscape and generate an intermingled conglomerate of surprising plausibility.' (Neo Rauch, quoted in A.M. Gingeras, 'Neo Rauch: A Pristaltic Filtration System in the River of Time', pp. 64-65, Neo Rauch: Para, exh. cat., New York 2007, p. 64).
