Specialist note

‘It occurred to me early that symmetry was not a closed issue--nor was asymmetry. I’ve known about that ever since I worked on symmetrical pictures or used symmetry as a “given.” It’s been on my mind--what would something be like if it were unbalanced? It’s been a vexing question for a long time.’
–Kenneth Noland
