‘Beauty in your work takes many forms, and includes your febrile drawing, so sensitive, so ornate; and your effulgent colours, which to me evoke Renaissance tapestries. Your subjects, at times, describe the essence of perfect companionship, which by definition is beautiful in its equanimity and balance.’
Laura Hoptman quoted from her conversation with Kai Althoff in the catalogue that accompanied the artist’s solo exhibition at MoMA in 2016.
The elusive artist’s exhibition with Bernard Leach recently opened at Whitechapel Gallery in London.
