“By turning to paint and lacquer so early, Price signaled that his works should be read as both painting and sculpture.

Drawing continued to be an important activity for him in working out the possibilities of many of his sculptures.” – Stephanie Barron, “Lumps, Bumps, Grooves, and Curves: Fifty Years of Ken Price Sculpture, Ken Price Sculpture, p. 23
