Specialist note

“My work isn’t environmental. It’s present in pedestrian space, but is not so strong or elaborate that it obscures its context. It doesn’t take over a space, but rather coexists with it… The line is a whole, an identity, for a particular place and time. I assume that this identity can be sensed by others.” (F. Sandback, “Notes,” Fred Sandback, exh. cat., Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz, November 2005-February 2006, p. 90)
