Lot Essay

"My original idea was to make conceptual art entertaining and funny. Over the years I got so far out on that conceptual limb that I went around full circle and became a traditional artist again. I figure it's better to be a sucker who makes something than a wiseguy who is too cautious to make anything at all." (S. Landers, in: B. Riemschneider and U. Grosenick (eds.), 'Art at the Turn of the Millennium', Cologne 1999, p.298.)
