"Dailey has invested his formidable intelligence in making his drawing the vehicle for content of the most permanent kind."

 

Henry Geldzahler

Former curator, the Metropolitan Museum of Art

"Sage"
"I wanted you to see these [drawings] because they are the origins of my objects; these are the way all my pieces begin--vases, wall reliefs, everything."

Dan Dailey, letter to Geldzahler

 

 

 

'It is his vision, his take on our visual environment, that provides the spine for an admirable body of work."

Geldzahler
