Quotes by Kirk Varnedoe (?)

“The less there is to look at, the more important it is that we look at it closely and carefully. This is critical to abstract art. Small differences make all the difference.”
― Kirk Varnedoe, Pictures of Nothing: Abstract Art Since Pollock

“In art we do not make things any simpler by making simpler things. Reduction does not yield certainty, but something like its opposite, which is ambiguity and multi-valence.”
― Kirk Varnedoe, Pictures of Nothing: Abstract Art Since Pollock
