It's possible to have more than one interest. I've been a painter and did summer stock.
People see owning a gallery as a way to get rich. I never thought that I could get rich in the art world. I wanted a life in art. I wanted to live with artists. I wanted to make beautiful shows.
I don't believe in selling art by transparencies. Art is a firsthand experience.
I think very often the price paid for a work is the trophy itself.
Art is a tool by which society extends its perception.
I actually taught perceptual psychology at N.Y.U. when I was younger. I was interested in the aesthetic impulse in lower primates. But what really interested me in Dian Fossey was that she made a difference - she saved the gorillas.
