Very few pieces of art in this world have struck a chord with me and made me stop, stare and think.  

Karl Haendel - Questions For my Father, which I saw at the Guggenheim museum in New York last year is one of them.

Very few people know about the disappointing relationship I have with my father. It is not something that I will freely talk about to anyone else other than close friends. 

I saw Haendel's work at an emotional moment in my life (for reasons unrelated to my father) which took me back to the root of all the issues my dad and I have still outstanding. 

After all, isn't what modern "art" is about? Invoking the audience's emotions.
