He passes an old building in Hollywood and the light coming off a stairway catches his attention. Of ‘The Fire Door,’ he said: ‘There’s a wonderful progression with this thing. The staircase zig-zagging in the foreground, the sheer wall before it, and the beautiful light. Of course, light makes these paintings,’ he adds. ‘It’s the light that reveals things.”); ii) Edward Biberman Revisited, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Los Angeles, CA, February 12 - April 19, 2009 (illustrated in the catalog p. 6)
