An artist makes art, and he demands the credentials of art. He’s investigated art, and he knows what art is. It’s not anatomy; it’s not proportions; it’s not brilliant execution; it’s not photographic likeness; it’s not journalism; it’s not individual pain. It is opening up the elements that make those pieces of art perpetually fresh, timeless.

Frieze New York has distinguished itself from most art fairs by offering an opportunity to see a global cross section of contemporary art by living artists.

From the solo show Hans Witschi, Neue Bilder at Stephan Witschi Gallery (Zurich, Switzerland), November 2–December 1, 2013.
