Catalogue Note

"With their scumbled, vaguely diaristic layers and their militantly mundane references, [Donald Baechler's] paintings are as instantly recognizable by sight and sense of touch as Jasper Johns', and as dispassionate."

LISA LIEBMANN (Donald Baechler: Paintings + Drawings, Kyoto, 1989)
