"Förg uses the idiom of geometric abstraction with the same naturalness with which Monet used the lilies in his garden pond: material and forms that happen to be at hand, easily available as the vehicle for aesthetic sensibility, painterly style and vision."


Rudi Fuchs, ‘Abstract, Dialect, Förg’ in: Exh. Cat., Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum, Günther Förg, 1995, p. 20)
