“My aunt is easily as excited as I am about the forthcoming exhibition and her 100th birthday" Fiona Frank, artist's niece.

"If you're an artist, you do it for people, so that people will admire it, so it's no use if it's kept in a dungeon and nobody ever sees it….You hope that people will see it and think you're wonderful" (Hannah Frank 2004)

"I just wish I could live for ever. As long as someone got to know that there was somebody called Hannah Frank...". (Hannah Frank June 2008)
