“I painted this the week Paul Auster died. I read The New York Trilogy when I was about twenty and I remember it blasted open a whole new set of imaginative possibilities for me about how to be playful with your medium, and I just loved it. I met Paul Auster once but I was so star struck I couldn’t think of anything to say. I think that is why I’ve painted this book now. Thank you Paul Auster for your great writing.”
