Specialist note

"A work of art. Something you experience in a visceral sense, because I believe that intellectual experiences are stronger when related to sensual experiences, a sense of the world. I sometimes paraphrase Lawrence Weiner on this; he said that he wanted to make art that throws you back on the physical world, that makes you think about your relationship to the physical world. I think that's a wonderful way to think about artmaking." (S. Levine, quoted in 'Sherrie Levine', Journal of Contemporary Art, reproduced at: https://www.jcaonline.com/slevine.html).
