“Giorgio Morandi's paintings make me think that artists may not totally...” — Jerry Saltz Quote

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

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

“Chris Ofili's suave, stippled, visually tricked-out paintings of the nineties, with their allover fields of shimmering dots and clumps of dung, are like cave paintings of modern life. They crackle with optical cockiness, love, and massive amounts of painterly mojo.”

“No shade to the other artists in Chicago... but if you got confidence in yourself and you know you're Number One, say it.”

“I have a lot of compact discs. I need them for radio play and convenience. Many bands and artists I am a fan of don't always release their work on vinyl, so I take what they feel like giving me.”

“There is more to representing art than selling art. The life of the gallery is dependent on the renewal and refreshment of its artists and dealers. When that stops happening, it's the end.”
