I'm retiring because my time is up.

I'm retiring because my time is up.

I have no evangelical feelings about art at all. I despise art education. Art doesn't lend itself to education. There is no knowledge there. It's a set of propositions about how things should look.

Art has political consequences, which is to say, it reorganizes society and creates constituencies of people around it.

Gossip is the currency of the discourse, so you should shut up about yourself. Never confess, never explain, never apologize, and never complain.

It used to be that if you stood in front of a painting you didn't understand, you'd have some obligation to guess. Now you don't.

If I go to London, everyone wants to talk about Damien Hirst. I'm just not interested in him. Never have been.
