Specialist note

“It is no coincidence that the person who makes R.H. Quaytman’s panels was formerly a collaborator of Donald Judd’s. The fastidious construction, the often dazzling optics, the play between transparency and opacity: Quaytman’s painting and the Minimalist object share much. Most of all, perhaps, they share a systematic logic in which every detail, from individual paintings and installations to their publication and distribution, is subject to careful control." (P. Galvez, ARTFORUM, September 2011, vol. 50, no. 1, p. 303)
