Quote from Parkett
“Balkenhol’s sculptures derive their qualitative currency and significance from their origin in two diametrically opposed fields. They draw on the rational, sober, anorganic, and serial character of Minimal Art; yet they also provide immediate sensual access to the world.”
Max Katz, Parkett No. 36, 1993
