Ken Price - Modern & Contemporary Art Day Sale, Morning Session New York Wednesday, May 15, 2024 | Phillips
  • “Sculpture of an intimate size draws the viewer in for a closer look, and there should be a payoff when that happens. One’s relationship to a smaller piece can be magical. I’d actually like people to be able to touch the work, so they can experience its textures and marks and realize that the thing is made out of layers of painted color that are integral, not just applied.”
    —Ken Price
