    "He was always looking for perfection. [...] When we made this exhibition, I wanted to make a catalogue raisonné with an overview of everything he had done so far. Lieve had started to collect all the material. She spent a few months doing that. When James came, he said, 'Yes, but I want a one-page catalogue.' I had written a text, but it had to be reduced to a small square. It drove Lieve crazy. Typically James."
