		Likewise, Oteiza’s sculptures are clearly shaped and mined from a system of beliefs and ideas seemingly ahead of their time.
		It is important to keep the dialogue, research, and subsequent learning going, so that the richness and variation characteristic of art history in its fullness are not boiled down yet again into a reductive formula of a few dozen people working in one city and at one time.
