‘Edward Harper's “The Balcony, Edouard Manet” consists of a set of elements from which the balcony in a Manet painting can be made. The initial painting could scarcely be imagined except for one element: a silver plate which appears in the Manet and reappears on the floor in Harper's work, like a Hollywood actress playing herself.’
