No one's ever called me anything but 'Arne.'

There is more to representing art than selling art. The life of the gallery is dependent on the renewal and refreshment of its artists and dealers. When that stops happening, it's the end.

I like the idea of a love story between men. There is a great affection between men, which exists much more in ethnic groups: Latin, Italian, Jewish.

It's possible to have more than one interest. I've been a painter and did summer stock.

Fairs are beneath the dignity of art. To stand there in a booth and hawk your wares - it is just not how you sell art.

Film and art are close together.

When Robert Benton was doing the movie 'In the Still of the Night,' I'd choreographed the auction scene and supplied the paintings and had a bit part - I was bidding against Meryl Streep.
