“What is immediately apparent is that many of the Great Wood Sculptures generate in the
viewer the sort of presence Klippel most appreciated, having ‘a quiet, serene, limitless quality like Buddha, Chinese art, etc.’…
When these sculptures came together as if under metaphysical auspices, they effectively revealed a whole
new expansion to Klippel’s vocabulary of forms – a remarkable shift in artistic
vision which has resulted in a body of work which remains largely inexplicable in terms of his historical development.” (Geoffrey Legge, ‘Robert Klippel and his Great Wood Sculptures,’ in Kirsty Grant (ed.), Assembled: The Art of Robert Klippel, TarraWarra Museum of Art,
Victoria, 2019, pp. 91-92.)
