Lot Essay

'Man's need for art is absolutely primordial, as strong as, and perhaps stronger than, our need for bread. Without bread, we die of hunger, but without art we die of boredom.'
(Jean Dubuffet quoted in V. de Costa and F. Hergott (eds.), Jean Dubuffet, Works, Writings, Interviews, Barcelona 2006, p. 14)
