1. In 1974, writing in the New York Magazine, art historian Barbara Rose said that Wilke’s work contributed to 'an overt assault on the Freudian doctrine of penis envy'. Wilke responded in the publication Art-Rite: 'Well, if I am going to become Pubic Princess of a new movement, I sincerely hope it will also include the awareness of its being innovative sculptural form, and not merely new subject matter'.
2. The first gestural folds were created in 1974, for an exhibition titled Floor Show at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, New York. On this occasion, Wilke created a terracotta floor work titled 176 One-Fold Gestural Sculptures, the beginning of a long passion for placing raw, glazed, and painted ceramics either on the floor or on painted plinths.
