Of course art world ethics are important. But museums are no purer than any other institution or business. Academics aren't necessarily more high-minded than gallerists.

We're all entitled to opinions about how art institutions should behave, and entitled to voicing those opinions through whatever means available to us. We're also allowed to change or modify our opinions.

Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.

I don't listen to what art critics say. I don't know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.

To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute.
