"Well, the world is a haunted house, and Helnwein at times is our tour guide through it. Not all of Gottfried's work is on a canvas. A lot of it is the way he's approached life. And it doesn't take someone knowing him to know that. You take one look at the paintings and you say "this guy has been around." You can't sit in a closet - and create this. This level of work is earned. As an artist my strongest reaction to Helnwein's work is that it challenges me to be better at what I do. There are very few people that achieve utter excellence in what they do. And I think that Gottfried Helnwein is certainly one of those people."

Ich habe es gestern besucht, und ich war volle 5 stunden drinnen... Es war sehr hypnotisierend... Ich wünschte ich könnte es noch anderswo sehen, da es bis Oktober für mich nicht lang genug ist... :D Und ausserdem ist mein Freund ziemlich traurig, weil er nicht rechtzeitig aus Mexico kommen wird um die Ausstellung zu besuchen... Auf jeden Fall war es eine großartige Erfahrung!
