“Unfortunately, the general interest in art among the Japanese is very ...” — Yusaku Maezawa Quote

“Unfortunately, the general interest in art among the Japanese is very low compared to that of Western countries. I would love to be able to correct that by bringing many more pieces of interesting artwork to Japan.”

“Generationally, I relate to Basquiat's culture and the essence of his life story.”

“Everyone around me, they are very supportive of my adventures.”

“Fans are hungry for original artwork.”

“It usually starts with the director and any other creatives who may be involved at the start. It's a collaboration. I bring what I have naturally and, hopefully, what they cast me for, and then we start playing and tweaking until we have what they feel's right. It helps to have some artwork to inspire me, but I don't always get that luxury.”

“One of the interesting things about quoting in an artwork is that there is a repeated confusion about who is speaking - one essentially becomes the author of a quote one uses.”
