Removal of referenced quote[edit]

The following text has now been deleted twice. It is properly referenced and shows the artist's thoughts at the time. Please discuss on this page before deleting again. Thank you.

After Adrian Searle's criticisms of Stella Vine in 2004, she wrote a letter to him, defending painting:
as the old/new YBAs prepare for yet another retrospective, what is longed for is, if not an overthrow of the existing order then at least a loosening of it? ... You also write that "painters are mostly a conservative lot". As someone who has just finished an MA, I can assure you that there are many so called conceptual artists being rehashed through colleges who are deeply rooted in a kind of stymied art speak and who are making work from a deeply conservative place. Painters are no less or more conservative than artists working in other media.[1]
