Lot Essay

‘When a painting is silent it means it is successful. Some of my paintings begin with turmoil. They are explosive. But I am satisfied only when they become silent. A form has to be listened to and not be looked at’
(S. Poliakoff, quoted in F. Brütsch, Poliakoff 1900-1969, Neuchâtel, 1993, p. 46).
