Artforum Magazine has published a review by Rosalind Krauss of Peter Sacks' "Painting" exhibition in their February 2010 issue.

"Peter Sacks: Paul Rodgers / 9W" by Rosalind Krauss

"These textual scrolls overlie a mixture of fabrics and corrugated board, the whole given a luminous sheen by washes of white acrylic. Their surfaces radiate the character of monochromes steamrolling over the thickened oscillation of figure/ground. The texts in question vary from Daniel Paul Schreber's Memoirs of My Nervous Illness (1903) and Aby Warburg's 1923 "Lecture on Serpent Ritual," both composed in mental asylums, to Rilke's "Duino Elegies" of 1912-22 and the "Time Passes" section of Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse (1927)."
