“Despite the heroism of this quest for a perpetually unresolved self, most Abstract Expressionists, with the exception of Lee Krasner and, on occasion, Pollock, eventually left this Edenic hell of perpetual self-contingency for the comfort and stability of distinct images or styles that achieved a brand-name identifiability for them….Lee Krasner, however, avoided succumbing to the myth of a unitary self. Her work never settled for long into a distinct style. Her reluctance (or inability) to settle on a single defining image serves in retrospect as a cogent critique of Abstract Expressionism.”

“I dreamt I was an old and ill detective and I was looking for people who were lost a long time ago. Sometimes I looked myself casually in a mirror and I recognized Roberto Bolano.”
