I 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.

There's something pleasing about large, well-lit spaces. I love that dealers are willing to take massive chances in order to give this much room to their artists. Most of all, I love that more galleries showing more art gives more artists a shot.

Art is good, bad, boring, ugly, useful to us or not.

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.

New Yorkers only cross water for visual culture if the water is an ocean. The East River throws us for a huge loop. If we started going to Queens and the Bronx for visual culture, many of our rent, space, and crowding problems would be over indefinitely.

Art is changing. Again. Here. Now. Opportunities to witness this are rare, so attend and observe.

Giorgio Morandi's paintings make me think that artists may not totally choose, or even control, their subjects or style.
