Poor Georgia O'Keeffe. Death didn't soften the opinions of the art world toward her paintings.

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

Auction houses run a rigged game. They know exactly how many people will be bidding on a work and exactly who they are. In a gallery, works of art need only one person who wants to pay for them.

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.

Turns out Picasso's passion for uncertainty, mystery, and the thrill of life never ended.

It is not possible to overstate the influence of Paul Cezanne on twentieth-century art. He's the modern Giotto, someone who shattered one kind of picture-making and invented a new one that the world followed.

The Met is not only the finest encyclopedic museum of art in the United States; it is arguably the finest anywhere.
