Lot Essay

“I have always thought of each one of my works as if they were the only work I would ever do: a total constellation of objects that had to suggest the idea that they came from another place; as if they had been dug up from under the earth, from a forgotten place. This is the way I feel, that I approach my work…” (F. Clemente, quoted in “Francesco Clemente: Once You Begin the Journey You Never Return” by Lisa Dennison, Clemente, exh. cat, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, 2000, p. 20)
