Catalogue Note
"These Altar Paintings have something peculiarly indirect about them. Their mode of depiction seems more to remove them from what they ostensibly depict than to make the latter present. The paintings are more reminiscent of postcards of altars, and they evoke more this already depiction-like visual experience than the experience of an actual altar painting, not to mention that they could never substitute for one" (Daniel Spanke, ‘The Picture Differs From The Depiction’, in: Friederike Feldmann 21 Bilder, Cologne 2008, n.p.).
