Wolfgang Laib quotes
-
“I don’t want to explain to somebody what pollen is. That is the secret and the beauty and the power and the potential of all this.”
-- Wolfgang Laib -
“I am not afraid of beauty, unlike most artists today. The pollen, the milk, the beeswax, they have a beauty that is incredible, that is beyond the imagination, something which you cannot believe is a reality-and it is the most real. I could not make it myself, I could not create it myself, but I can participate in it. Trying to create it yourself is only a tragedy, participating in it is a big chance.”
-- Wolfgang Laib -
“For me, it's always very beautiful that you can do something today in the 21st century which is not an imitation but which has a connection to art which is 4,000 years old.”
-- Wolfgang Laib -
“Art can have connections over many centuries or thousands of years.”
