Quote from Parkett
“Buren’s work is rooted in the artist’s initial search for ways to strip painting of illusionistic and expressive reference as per his decision in 1965 to reduce the pictorial content of his canvases to the repetition of mechanically printed, alternating white and colored vertical bands 8.7 centimeters in width painted white on its outer stripes... Grounding his works in the real without espousing the grandiose or impositional, he has constantly sought to express the idea of the unfettered nature of aesthetic experience that (as he has demonstrated) may be proffered to spectators in relation to the temporal and spatial reality of architecture and its institutional affiliations.”
Anne Rorimer, Parkett No. 66, 2002
Additional Quote
“Painter and installation artist Daniel Buren, associated with the Conceptual Art movement, has been an important figure in the art world since 1968. Buren's vertical stripes, made from paper, fabric, paint, or tape, have become his artistic signature, appearing in a variety of scales and forms in site-specific installations … such as his unique table cloth for Parkett that reimagine the social and physical implications of architecture.”-Artspace
