Specialist note

"If the artist is succesful, at ease with his sources, magic operates in his process. The viewer feels the positive vibe's of the work, illuminated by the artist in touch with his unconscious. There will be communication. If there is magic in the making, then there is magic in the discovery. Let's hope". -Louise Bourgeois
