Specialist note

‘I think I make art for brave eyes. I don’t want to make art that will pat you on the back and tell you everything is going to be okay. I want to make something that’s much more confronting. You don’t look at it, it looks at you as much as you look at it.’
(R. Longo, quoted in R. Longo, R. Price (eds.), Robert Longo: Men in the Cities, New York 1986, p. 94)
