Lot Essay

‘Malraux once wrote: 'The Dutch were not the first to paint fish on a plate, but they were the first to stop treating it as food for the apostles.' By the same token, it could be said of Mac Adams that he was not the first to depict sinister objects, but that he pioneered an artistic idea of still life as incrimination’ – Max Kozloff
