Paul Thek (1933-1988)

“Thek’s art is some of the most radical work of its time and as such defies definition. It is at once two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and performative…His work has a casual, almost haphazard quality, but it is actually remarkably clear, with a repeated precision that reveals itself with repeated study.”
