"The stairway connecting the high, narrow space of the vestibule to the long, low room of the library proper is among the most remarkable inventions of mannerist architecture....

As has often been remarked, it resembles a lava flow that the walls seem intent on containing. Here the volutes assume a character totally at odds with the static quality of the consoles from which they derive, having been invested with great power, bulging forward in the center only to recede in the lateral swirls and assume conventional form to either side of the balustrade. The large volutes easing the transition from the central to the lateral stairs also stabilize the balustrade. The opposing forces given physical form here are undeniably biomorphic in character."
















"I have always thought that you need to work both inside and outside the system to develop the best critical position. So even when exhibiting with galleries and museums I have always kept this balance. I was never especially aggressive toward galleries because they are privately owned. Within the gallery system you will find everything from crooks to the very best people. Institutions are different, they are more general and in most countries they’re funded by public money. They are absolutely not innocent and the use of public money can be put under scrutiny."
