Specialist note

“I was always involved with color—color with form. I think the sculptures I made in the ‘60s were successful in formal terms; they really looked as if they were made out of color, some of them” –Ken Price in M. Wilson-Powell, “Ken Price: Interviews and Writings 1980-2011” in Ken Price Sculpture: A Retrospective, exh. cat., Los Angeles, 2012, p. 196.
