...guards generally depict Ring as a skillful interviewer, who can be alternately friendly or prosecutorial...
...with such emphasis that you feel you could almost lift it off the page. Drawings like Two Men Conversing or The Drinkers are so vivid in their tonal structure, and at the same time so natural and unpretentious in their expression, that you feel included in the meetings they depict. Daumier's line is always in motion, and startlingly responsive to the perceived moment. It is rarely just an outline: it surrounds the form with the haze of energy, made up of scribbled marks, suggestions and hints. It is the record of a sensibility that continually probes and is always...
Instead they reach back to the earlier and more authentic anxieties of Alberto Giacometti. Some depict vomiting heads, which, as Rothenberg puts it in her catalog interview with Auping, were "divorce images," conveying "a sense of something threatening, like a stick in the throat . . . the whole choked-up mess of separating from someone you care for and a child being involved."

They depict Koons having various forms of sex with his wife Ilona Staller, the Italian porn star-politician who rose to fame under the name Cicciolina. The results range in size from small glass figurines to a photo-based mural. The centerpiece is an over-life-size carving of Cicciolina and her swain in rapture, like Adam and Eve, with a giant python curled around their plinth. As pornography, these works are inefficiently winsome...
