“Suited to architecture, but not in the sense of being subordinate to it. The happy interplay with architecture is instead due to the characteristics of the works themselves, which are in some respects analogous to architecture.
One analogy is the openness of the structure to real space and the transformation of real space by the structure.”
Max Imdahl, in: “Adolf Luther”, Städtische Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, 1974, p. 5
