Catalogue Note
"What you look for, I think, if you're interested in painting and drawing, are those things which captivate you in some way, which sort of knock you off your feet for a minute. You don't quite know what's going on. [Martín] Ramírez work has this very riveting kind of attention." Wayne Thiebaud (Martín Ramírez, The Last Works)
