He first contacted Sigi (my husband) regarding an exhibition. We became very close to him in all the years he lived with us. Paul first exhibited in Sigi's Gallery in Covent Garden, followed by his happenings, exhibitions, events etc. When he created the "pulpible man" I baked for days on end gingerbread wafers, which were accumulated to the "pupable man", in "packages" - which one could buy. After Sigi Krauss left London, I was very glad to work with and for Paul. The "Chinese Horse" should be known, in black and white and it was also coloured, which I was glad to do for him. Paul was very close also to our children, Andrea, Mattias and Emily. Especially Mattias was fascinated by Pauls drawings and the greatness of his mind. I left London many years ago and lost contact to Paul. I am devastated and sad to hear that he died so many years ago.I knew he was not well... Kind regards to all who knewPaul, Dagmar Krauss | | | Antworten auf diesen Eintrag | Zeige Antworten auf diesen Eintrag

I knew nothing of its theoretical basis but it struck me as being not so much the expression of one person but the exposition of artefacts from some some culture that was both intensly thoughtful and also aware of, and fluent in, its relationship with an external physical universe. In his obituary of Paul in the Guardian newspaper his student Anish Kapoor wrote, or implied, that Paul was an artist not in touch with his time. It seems to me that Paul was very much in touch with the intellectual and philosophical concerns of his era. Perhaps it is the art world that has moved away from a real engagement with the relationship of the human mind to the physical world - Paul's work is a very long way from the fairground aesthetic of Kapoor and seems to have little impetus to assert or reveal the personality of the artist.
