“In Cottingham's cropped, dislocated, and disjointed detail of a store front, great technical expertise is exhibited in the sharply focused, super-real composition of objects, reflections, and perspective." – Richard Marshall, (Richard Marshall, American Art Since 1970: Painting, Sculpture, and Drawings from the Collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York 1984, p. 16)
