“Far from cynically exploiting her notoriety, Harvey's grave and monumental canvas succeeds in conveying the enormity of the crime she committed. Seen from afar, through several doorways, Hindley's face looms at us like an apparition. By the time we get close enough to realise that it is spattered with children's handprints, the sense of menace becomes overwhelming.” Cork, Richard (16 September 1997), "The Establishment clubbed", The Times, retrieved 30 September 2009
“…no work ever attains the zero degree of content, since the concept of a zero-degree of content is itself
a content.”
“What is essential is that we begin to appreciate the complexity of what we do when we relate to an artwork…Let’s forget for a moment the Eye of the Soul and think of the marvelous mammalian brain which instantly reads out these many different codes, keeps them separate while balancing and relating them, and produces a sense of the work in which all these factors are represented, however transformed through interplay with the particular receiving sensibility.
“Far from a simplistic philistinism, content is a complex and demanding event without which no artwork could transpire. It demands our attention since without awareness of these distinctions and levels we do not really know what has happened already in art, and what is happening now for the first time.”
