Lot Essay

"From roughly 1968-70 I worked with a more rigid serial intent, in that I conceived ideas – the W, V, X Series (1968-69), for instance – that attempted to work out all the possibilities of a given idea." (R. Mangold, “Interview with Sylvia Pilmack Mangold,” Robert Mangold, London, 2000, p. 63.)
