Catalogue Note
“A consummate lover of images…. Valdés’ sensibility comes through via the more sensate side of appropriation, where the quest to improve on the things of the recent past comes not from an impulse to deepen our rupture with the past, but from the deepest possible appreciation of the values embodied by the sources themselves.” Dan Cameron, “The Hunter Gets Captured” in Exh. Cat., 1991, Marlborough Gallery, Manolo Valdés: Recent Work. May 22 – June 21 1991
