I have seen many of their exhibitions through the decades, and they have all been overwhelming and beautiful. Standing among their huge pictures is an almost sacred experience. This was last year in Hamburg. I am happy for them that they have kept their sense of humour and can still work together after so many decades, still push their style to new frontiers, and still amaze the viewers without making any compromise with the commercial pressures of the art market.
