When I criticize Joseph Beuys or Francis Bacon, nobody calls those opinions anti-male. Putting female artists or their subject matter off-limits is itself sexist and limiting.

To me, the building [of Museum of Arts and Design]now looks like a lovely jewel box, and the tiled façade reminds me of a heat shield.

Ofili is still a champion. It would be a huge mistake to think otherwise.

The German ueber-photographer Andreas Gursky was the perfect pre-9/11 artist.

I know it's dangerous to take on bloggers. They can go after you every day, all day long, and anonymous people can chime in, too.

'Untitled' is a time machine that can transport you to 1992, an edgy moment when the art world was crumbling, money was scarce, and artists like Tiravanija were in the nascent stages of combining Happenings, performance art, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, and the do-it-yourself ethos of punk. Meanwhile, a new art world was coming into being.

I have a soft spot for art that, in terms of subject matter and material, is in bad taste.
