COMMENTS
”One of the jury members leaves the jury box to investigate what is happening in the capsule. “I spent a year making that painting in color, then destroyed it and started over in monochrome. Color was all wrong for the world I wanted to evoke. I don’t regret losing that year of work because I learned so much from it.”
—Robert P. Conway, A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne - The Art of Everything, 2007.
