Provenance:

Galerie Fortlaan 17, Ghent (label on the reverse), Private Collection, Belgium, Completing a picture is much more difficult than beginning it; in fact, it is impossible. I see the development of a picture as a flow of images, halted almost arbitrarily. An idea, or even just a thought, is ripped open, compressed and overlaid, splintered and bundled again, readjusted. The moment when a brief loss of control occurs, a little turn is taken that interrupts the paralyzing fixation, in short, when the picture gains independence, finding an opportunity to strike back, is a good moment to stop. Kurt Kocherscheidt, December 1991 from the mentioned MAK-catalogue
