Specialist note

‘ In a state of suspension between figuration and non-figuration, Tobey evokes the pulse of life in the metropolis in a dynamic framework of grids; this realisation is possible for him because it proceeds from an analogous inner state of openness and movement, of universal relatedness.’
– M. Bärmann
