Great quote: Naumann’s fascination with his subject began as a teenager, when he received a volume from the Time-Life Library of Art with a reproduction of Bicycle Wheel(1913) on the cover. “I remember saying to myself, ‘Holy shit! This is art?’” Naumann recalls. “I was stunned. That thing on the cover hit me like a ton of bricks, and I’ve been reeling ever since.”
