"Although the serial works can be regarded as equivalent in terms of production technology, material, economics and aesthetics, they are by no means completely uniform, but have the character of individually crafted unique pieces. The 1996 "Fuji" series of paintings which was conceived this way is particularly sought-after among collectors." Hubertus Butin
