Lily Van der Stokker on beauty and ugliness, the fine line

“I adore pitiful little things that make you want to cry and hold somebody. There is a work from 1992 that I sold several times. It has the text: “Poor (old) abstract art.” I love saying “Poor baby!”, or “Poor Vincent van Gogh”. One of my favourite lines is: “Women are very good at crying. And I think they should be getting paid for it.”

How open and out there and unsentimentally sentimental
