Stuart Morgan (art critic) on Stapleton's 1993 show "His manner of entertaining us…the worst thing I have ever done."
: 'The logic of dandyism as a mode of conceptual art assumes a view of the dandy not as engaged in a foppish, decadent pursuit but as an attempt to get over class distinction by creating one's own aristocracy, as well as doing what aristocrats do but doing it better, and securing the knowledge that their order and the natural superiority it implies is on a false premise.’
Stapleton is additionally the author of a novel titled ''After the Death of the Goat God ''
