There's a radical change in the relationship with the human being and society. Art now is an open conversation with the society. Previously there was a necessity for a little bit of screaming and shouting just to get it into the conversation.

You can't have a $2 million painting unless it's on the wall somewhere and somebody saw it.

I think there should be a reworking of the value structure of art. The value is when the artist makes a first engagement with society. That work has the most value. That is the function of the artist. That result.

In my eyes, making art is very often about something that you don't know.

Once you know about a work of mine you own it. There's no way I can climb inside somebody's head and remove it.

All art is made from anger.

Art history is fine. I mean, that's a discipline. Art history is art history, and you start from the beginning and you end up in artist in time. But art is a little bit different. Art is a conversation. And if there's no conversation, what the hell is it about?
