Lot Essay

"Color differences always go side by side. Laterally. Color differences can illustrate three dimensional form, but using color in terms of hue belongs more properly to painting than modelling with dark and light does" (K. Noland quoted by K. Wilkin, Kenneth Noland, New York, 1990, p. 22)
