Lot Essay

‘In a drawing you cannot conceal anything. It is impossible to lie in a drawing. The drawing shows everything. A drawing has no nationality. There is no time and space. It is its own universe. I always say: look at the drawings of an artist and you know everything about the artist. All I can say is that I have to draw. I’ve always drawn and will continue to make drawings. My drawings sustain me.’

(S. Hefund, quoted in an interview with B. Mathes, ‘Show me what you draw and I tell you who you are’, in Flash Art, November-December 2010, https://www.flashartonline.com/interno.php?pagina=onweb_det&id_art=634&det=ok&titolo=TELL-ME-WHAT-YOU-DRAW-AND-I-WILL-TELL-YOU-WHO-YOU-ARE, [accessed 7th August 2010]).
