Lot Essay

"It was always easy to find John at an opening, for he was head and
shoulders above the rest! I think of him as a gentle and witty giant
much beloved by the many students whose minds he opened up and
whom he pushed to think critically about the art they were making
and to find themselves. His own work was both intellectual and
playful, a pleasure to contemplate, and remains an inspiration for
many young artists."
-Vija Celmins
