“What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this...” — Urs Fischer Quote

“What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that.”

“Many artists who don't go off to art school come to New York. It's about what you learn when you're here.”

“I always have a lot of things going on because some things take years to make and others take five minutes. I like that there's always something going on. Working doesn't have such a momentous feel - like it's all or nothing.”

“I would say being deeply involved in the art world would help keep a young artist on track. Doing what you love, so that your focus is your artistry.”

“My dark little secret is that I don't actually believe many people in the art world have much feeling for art.”

“Of course, museums and galleries and art spaces will continue to ground the art world. But certainly the public - as well as artists - also benefit when art is encountered in other everyday situations.”
