‘The reason it has been picked up on now is that people are more enlightened
about art. The dematerialization of work in the 70’s meant that artists no
longer had to make an object. The beauty of a drawing is it can be an idea.
And whereas, a video work or photograph needs authentification, you don’t
need that with a drawing. The artist’s touch is right there in front of you on the
paper, a direct manifestation of the artists thinking and feelings. The drawing
is the genuine article. And a lot of work, today, doesn’t necessarily feel like
that.’
