Lot Essay

"My picture Belvedere is no higher math. That I cannot state this more precisely is caused by my lack in mathematical training, I suppose. That is actually what is absorbing about my position as regards to mathematics: our realms touch each other but do not overlap. I regret that!"

- M.C. Escher, letter to Bruno Ernst, 1958
