Lot Essay

'I want nothing but to get to the colour. I put the colours on, lay them in and try to gain a colour this way. I use really diverse combinations. That keeps it open. There is no colour I don’t work with, so there is no pat system. Along the way, you can get to really beautiful paintings that you never had in mind.' - Imi Knoebel
