Josephine Halvorson - 20th Century & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Afternoon Session New York Wednesday, November 16, 2022 | Phillips
  • "I think of the painting as a record of the time spent with this thing in its environment. How do you make the conditions to have a really long, uninterrupted time with something? Different things come from that than an hour here and an hour there. I’ve been painting in a single session while the paint is still wet, so that kind of committing to being in a single place over time, I would never do that normally. I would never spend 12 hours standing in front of something, but I do because of painting. It’s the experience which feeds the painting, but it’s also the painting which feeds the experience."
    —Josephine Halvorson
