“By turning to paint and lacquer so early, Price signaled that his works should be read as both painting and sculpture. He turned as well t drawing during the early 1960s – usually cups and eggs with minimal backgrounds. Drawing continued to be an important activity for him in working out the possibilities of many of his sculptures.” – Stephanie Barron, “Lumps, Bumps, Grooves, and Curves: Fifty Years of Ken Price Sculpture, Ken Price Sculpture, p. 23
