“Robert Koenig belongs to the culture of wood. More so, he belongs to its specific circle in which it survived to the present day in an untainted form. Rhythm as aesthetics and rhythm as a visible group of logical cycles comes together in his art into one coherent whole, into one harmony of the world”. 
Jerzy Madeyski, 1997.

“Robert Koenig is part of a tradition that is resurfacing after a time of near invisibility. He drew from a culture of carving that was rooted in the folk art of Central Europe; a naturalistic depiction of the world with mythic overtones. Robert Koenig’s is a unique voice in British Sculpture, indeed it is doubtful that his work can properly be said to be British. It is European Sculpture, not as a transnational and indistinct idea of the modern world, but the product of a specific region and time, speaking through history”.
Craigie Horsfield, 1992

“That brilliant Polish sculptor”. 
Lord Campbell of Eskan.
