Specialist note

‘I felt most related to the Milanese, especially to Piero Manzoni because of
his playfulness and ironic qualities. The Italians always have something so
clear, so explicit. Manzoni, Yves Klein and Lucio Fontana were the trailblazers.
When I saw their works for the first time I thought, ‘damn, this could be a
possible direction’. They steer you, but because we evolved so quickly, at the
same time a mutual influence emerged.’
(Henk Peeters)
