Specialist note

'Price's calendar paintings appear highly stylized and artificial, the result of graphic manipulation and processing - therefore at a distance from nature associated with calendar time. They are a part, rather, of the "second nature" of the commodity, where relations between people are converted into relations between things, and indeed of the loss of nature as an "outside" of society, to which we might appeal as a repository value, as was the case in the 18th and 19th centuries.'
(M. Newman, Seth Price's Operations, Price, Seth, exh. cat., Kunsthalle Zürich, Zurich 2010, p. 64).
