Paul Thek believed in process, in life and art in flux.
His art is largely about the transposition of symbolic content.
When I was a young artist, in the early 1970s, I acquired his artist book A Document (a document made by Paul Thek and Edwin Klein, Amsterdam / Stockholm 1969). I still cherish it.
Although rarely seen I remained interested in his work.
Thek died in 1988.
It wasn’t until after 1995 that he became widely known through exhibitions and publications and I found more and more out that we (had) shared many themes.
