"I've never thought about my works as something that I wanted to see again. Now I am forced to relate to them. It's a chance to see myself from a different perspective. The 130 works will come together in a new work: it's a family" the artist said to the Financial Times about his NY Guggenheim's Museum retrospective which opened this week. He adds: "There is no other way to do a shw there and pay respect to the building."
I look forward to seeing this retrospective but to be honest, I am not sure I like what I see on the pictures... It feels too much...Pictures Credit: Chang W. Lee/The New York Times.
