Catalogue Note

"Mr. Michael Kovner is one of the most outstanding painters of the younger generation I have met... I believe he possesses a rare and instinctive capacity for the imagery, color, and structure in his painting. More, that his vigorous strength and plastic energy is what strikes me as being unique." (A letter from Philip Guston, 1975)
