"Initially, [.] the drawing serves a preparatory purpose. At times it has its very own appeal, and that's why it shouldn't be regarded better or worse than the final painting."
Konrad Klapheck, 2007.

After starting over a hundred times, my canvases often looked greasy and filthy, like a dirt bike circuit in rain. In some cases the fabric was pierced by the compasses. [.] A colleague said he liked the preliminary drawings better than the final pictures, that they were fresher and more lively than the perfect final products. [..] For years I had erased everything that looked like work. I had tried to give my paintings a look as if they were not man-made, as if they had fallen from the sky ready-made. Should I really release the witnesses of my struggle with their sweaty smell of desperate searching and groping?"

Konrad Klapheck, Über meine Zeichnungen, 1982, in: Klapheck, Bilder und Texte, Düsseldorf 2013, p. 51.

"I began to exhibit the paintings and the accompanying drawings together, always side by side. Some people understood exactly what I wanted to achieve, especially other artists [..]. Others debated about which was the better medium [..]. But that's not my point. The two products don't compete; they each serve a different purpose [..]. The drawing has its very own appeal, and that's why it shouldn't be regarded better or worse than the final painting."
