I like working with a certain palette, one that is usually very raw and very cold. It's extremely artificial, like Pontormo's, for example. Then, within this spectrum, there are some colors that develop certain characteristics. A particular red, when it meets up with blue, doesn't become purple but rather brown. I like this ambivalence that makes colors surrender their identity and yet still show signs of their origins.” Katharina Grosse interview with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Parkett no. 74, 2005.
