"Imi Knoebel is one of the most radical and consistent abstract artists of the present day [..] in his work, radicalism and consistency come together to form a balanced unity that he constantly puts to the test."
Zdenek Felix, quoted from: Imi Knoebel. Retrospektive 1968-1996, ex. cat. Haus der Kunst, Munich 1996, pp. 291f.
