Much good art got made while money ruled; I like a lot of it, and hardship and poverty aren't virtues. The good news is that, since almost no one will be selling art, artists - especially emerging ones - won't have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand. They'll be able to experiment as much as they want.

Many things happened in the sixties, but the period is no more significant, better, or more 'political' than today. It's time to turn the page.

The price of a work of art has nothing to do with what the work of art is, can do, or is worth on an existential, alchemical level.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is unsurpassed at presenting more than 50 centuries of work. I go there constantly, seeing things over and over, better than I've ever seen them before.

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

If only we could persuade galleries to observe a fallow period in which, for two months every other year, new and old works of art could be sold in back rooms and all main galleries would be devoted to revisiting shows gone by.
