Catalogue Note
"My apartment is a reality that absorbs, challenges, and soothes my mind. It is a springboard to my fantasies. . .I can enjoy objects, surfaces, edges, metaphors, abstractions as I like." - Lucas Samaras (quoted in Samaras Album, New York, The Whitney Museum of American Art, 1971, p. 14)
