 Was beim Propheten recht ist, darf der Kunst billig sein, sagte sich Igo Kirchlechner
und brachte die Kunst dorthin, wo die Leute sind. Raus aus der Klausur, der Einsamkeit und
der Sterilität. Raus aus leeren Galerien, hinaus ins pralle Leben. Weg von den
sektschlürfenden Vernissage-Hoppern, hin zu den Schaufenster-schauenden City-Shoppern.
Mit seiner "ShopArt 93" konfrontiert er Stadtbummler mit Kunst, wenns sein
muß auch zwischen Bettwäsche und Schuhen. "Feine Adressen München" April 1993

 ART - ART ? - ART ! Window-Dressing can quite definitely be an art form in its own right. Even if we do
tend to take it rather for granted, and although purists may tend to sneer at its
commercial undertones. It is an association in Munich, "ShopArt", who channel
all their efforts into bringing the works of their members to the attention of the public.
By having them incorporated into shop window displays, integrated by the window dressers
as they see fit.
This campaign is providing the artists with more exposure than they
otherwise have dreamed of. At any hour of the day or night, you can wander past and
inspect the unique ShopArt Window Collages, which - after having been removed - never
again may be reproduced. "The Hamburger", September 1993
