My job as art critic is to watch artists dance naked in public, and then I will, in turn, dance naked critically in public.
Jerry SaltzI think that a lot of artists have succeeded in making what I might call "curator's art." Everybody's being accepted, and I always want to say, "Really? That's what you've come for? To make art that looks a lot like somebody else's art?" If I am thinking of somebody else's art in front of your art, that's a problem.
