"What they use are classical forms for our civilization."
-- Bernice Rose

On Oldenburg and van Bruggen...
"The sketchbook itself is a manifestation of the drawing brought up to sculptural scale, generalized, brought out into the open. Something that was private and is now a public thing."

"While each of Oldenburgs' sculptures is complete, each of them is a fragment of a larger whole and what they're constructing for me is a kind of giant master work, and that's a fascinating process."
