Watercolors >>

“With the Watercolors Kiehholz contrived a system of currency, as he termed it, whereby the work was sold for the amount hand painted on the framed sheet of paper or bartered for the items small and large stenciled on the sheet. The Watercolors were a grand spoof on the value of the artist’s name in the marketplace; all the buyer actually received was a sheet of paper good for the amount or item Kienholz painted on it, simply because he and the artist agreed it should be so.”

Quote by Robert L. Pincus taken from “On a Scale that Competes with the World: the Art of Edward and Nancy Reddin Kienholz.” University of California Press, Berkeley, 1990, p. 56.
