Artists, like critics and historians, make the history they reflect, even with the best intentions to remain objective. I thought, when I began writing, that I should try both to observe and to influence as much as possible." From the library of Anders Tornberg Gallery in Lund, Sweden, and with a stamp confirming this on the last blank page. …
