"There are artists whose works have, at particular moments in their careers, succinctly captured the exigencies of the age in which they lived. Giving eloquent shape to the realities of their time, such creative individuals have tapped into the collective human psyche in startling and revealing ways. Throughout his nearly twenty-year career as an artist, Robert Gober has developed a body of sculptural work that has consistently taught us about ourselves and the world we inhabit." - Extract from James Rondeau and Olga M. Viso's acknowledgements.
