Burkhalter's Coffee Table

“I believe very strongly in the “medium” aspect of the artist. The artist makes something, then one day, he is recognized by the intervention of the public, of the spectator; so later he goes on to posterity. You can’t stop that, because, in brief, it’s a product of two poles - there’s the pole of the one who makes the work, and the pole of the one who looks at it. I give the latter as much importance as the one who makes it”  (70).
