For the exhibition Untitled #1050 (25 November 2017 – 14 October 2018) this work was displayed with the following label:
“No object, and certainly no painting, is seen in the same way by everyone, yet most people want an unmistakeable meaning which is accessible to all in a work of art. It is the spectator which provides the change and meaning in these works.”
—Ralph Hotere, 1973
