“Like a messianic magician unveiling his tricks, Rudolf Stingel unmasks shadowy illusions with pragmatic showmanship in works that appear to be one thing (spatial, metallic, liquid, carpet) but in fact are quite another (flat, matte, solid, paint). He even once produced a pamphlet of instructions for how to create his paintings: Here’s how it’s done, kids!”
