Nice Quote

I found this quote from Richard Wentworth today while doing some research for my Short Residency at Leeds Art gallery exploring the pedagogic Turn in relation to the Bruce Maclean show - it was said at the Henry Moore ionstitute just next door

‘cigarette packets folded up under table legs more monumental than a Henry Moore’. Asked why, the artist listed five reasons: ‘Firstly, the scale. Secondly, the fingertip manipulation. Thirdly, modesty of both gesture and material. Fourth, its absurdity and fifth, the fact that it works.’
