"Few artists of our time, even the most famous, have achieved what Kuper has. He is one of a rare few whose art combines intrepid contemporary experiment with virtuosity of the highest order and a supremely subtle sense of rhythm and form. Kuper has creative courage in abundance. His art is defined primarily by its independence and deliberate distance from what others think and do, from what is most in demand. But he is not isolated from the "global artistic plasma" ; he belongs to his time. Let me repeat unashamedly. This is an extremely rare case in the history of Russian art abroad. Kuper has achieved his success in the West exclusively on the basis of the quality of his art. Not through current social relevance or politics, not through diatribes and allusions, not through denunciation or mocking, ironical sotsart. But precisely through the art itself." Mikhaïl Guerman
