The most wonderful time to be in the art world was in the sixties, because it wasn't a business - there was no business of doing art.

Art is not an investment. Art is something you buy because you are financially solvent enough to give yourself a pleasure of living with great works rather than having to just see them in museums. People who are buying art at the top of the market as an investment are foolish.

If Abstract Expression reached for the sublime, Pop turned ordinary imagery into icons. Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol illuminated the transformative power of context and the process of reproduction. Claes Oldenburg's soft ice-cream cones and hamburgers changed sculpture from hard to soft, from stasis to transformation.

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

I think very often the price paid for a work is the trophy itself.

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.

Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate.
