Catalogue Note
"Baker's taste for the track shows itself in a large and splashy acrylic called Washzert Suisse, which renders a speeding monocoque as fractured triangles. The feel is Futuristic – as you look at the picture, you hear, distant and garbled, Marinetti's taunt that a racing car is more beautiful than the Victory of Samothrace." - Charles Darwent ("Abstract America, Saatchi Gallery, London," The Independent, June 14, 2009)
