About this lot

“As such, one can just as easily argue that for six decades Adnan has been capturing no place at all, but rather the shape of thought and the movement of ideas - her paintings a form of visual poetry to be read like a sequence of signs or symbols.”
Etel Adnan by Kaelen Wilson Goldie
