"Himmelstein's patterned oils drawn from a series of lightning-like sketches of the televised World Cup Tournament are an even bolder attempt to find pith in our world-being-made-shallow. Here the over-hyped, commercially-usurped events are unwrapped to expose ribs of concrete, gritty spatialization set in Neo-Constructivist rhthyms with eye-popping arrangements." -Jim Feast and Ron Kolm, NY 2001
