Catalogue Note
"I recommend the back of a thick, expensive pen as the perfect carving tool. The feel of digging into Stingel’s silver at the Whitney is most satisfactory. WRITE LARGE, okay? Ironically, your graffiti will disappear in the light of the chandelier overhead, for such is the way that foil foils. So what? This is a museoparticipitory exercise that, as Arthur Danto once said about some other show (probably Paul McCarthy), is fun for the whole family" - Charlie Finch, 2002 (from Stingelese, artnet.com)
