Lot Essay

"Like a geological cross-section, Timekeeper uncovers and shows the successive layers left behind by previous actions (wall paintings) on the walls of the Wiener Secession. Just as the rings of a tree tell its history, Timekeeper is a caption that tells the story of its location. It allows the coexistence of the work of different painters."
Pierre Huyghe, exh. cat., Kunsthalle Zürich, Zurich 2000, p. 192.
