Specialist note

Koethers work defines painting as defiantly multipurpose; it provides pleasure, incites thought and questions assumptions about taste and technique. For much of the 1990s, she mixed graffiti-inspired brushwork [], fragmented images and assorted quotations on surfaces that had a vibrant, all-over undergrowth
