David Salle Print Catalogue 4 - Flipbook - Page 12
Conceptually, in his approach to painting, Salle is a collagist.
He quotes a set of disparate images and layers them, creating
both attention to surface and illusions of depth.
Nan Rosenthal, National Gallery of Art

images you see in that space behind your eyes, where everything

consciousness in relation to a woman’s consciousness.
Sherrie Levine, artist
