Christine König Galerie, Wien
“Glass is clear at least. Well, I mean some glass is clear. There is now the status-symbol of un-clear, smoky glass windows in limousines so that the public cannot see the important man inside.
Don’t you think the clarity of glass has probably been made for better wine over the centuries? If we had no clear glass through which to admire the colour, wine might have stayed simply dark and serviceable.
So hard, yet so breakable! And when broken, so dangerously sharp! So un-reparable!”
