Lot Essay

“McCracken sets up an experience that takes you beyond Euclidean shapes toward a form of geometric representation that might be described as organic, and which evokes inner, meditative and ‘feel good’ experiences.” (J. Rian, “John McCracken at Galerie Froment & Putman, Paris” in Frieze, May 1996, p. 73)
