I think of art as the highest level of creativity. To me, it is one of the greatest sources of enjoyment.

I suspect that many corporations have begun to understand that they have an important role to play in the lives of their communities, and that allocating funds to support local groups helps them discharge that function and also burnish their image.

It is true that I am often startled and even angered and repulsed by the strange directions and provocative content of new forms that seem to pop up every few months.

I think I am basically a happy person.

The conventional notions of art have changed, and a lot of things done today are considered works of art that would have been rejected in the past.

The attacks on the World Trade Center and the current economic recession, which is particularly powerful in New York City, have put a number of building plans on hold for the time being.

Much corporate giving is charitable in nature rather than philanthropic.
