Specialist note

"Thought as power: the infinite and the finite. Re: beauty how can you talk about Kant and Hegel, even via Greenberg, when there is no structure to hang it on? No way. And talking about beauty for those of you who are into cosmetics, remember that thinking ruins the face."
E. Sturtevant quoted in Sturtevant - Bild över bild, exh. cat., Moderna Museet, Stockholm; and Kunsthalle Zürich, 2012-2013, p. 81.
