Specialist note

‘When I first knew her, De la Cruz worked in a studio so small and cluttered, it was hard to tell where her work began and ended; even a scrunched-up canvas torn from its stretcher and crumpled up under her chair might, in fact, be a finished work. […] It looks like nothing, and that’s its title: Nothing. When does nothing become something?’
(A. Searle, ‘Angela de la Cruz’s brush with death’, in The Guardian, 5 April 2010).
