Lot Essay

“I think art…is a product of a moment and a state of mind…a point of time in which all your energies and all your forces and the environment is coming together in that one action of making, of creating…Even when I’m painting…I’m drawing when I’m painting. When you’re drawing, it’s completely separate because drawing is making a mark and cutting into space and finding something that didn’t exist before. It’s pure creation in its simplest form.” (J. Rubell, “Keith Haring: The Last Interview,” in Arts Magazine, September 1990, p. 53)
