I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.

Too many younger artists, critics, and curators are fetishizing the sixties, transforming the period into a deformed cult, a fantasy religion, a hip brand, and a crippling disease.

When artists who are not associated with the typical infrastructure get recognition, that becomes a cultural movement.

If contemporary artists sincerely seek to be original, unique, and new, they should begin by disregarding the notions of originality, individuality, and innovation: they are the cliches of our time.

Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.

I would say there's always a movement of music and fashion in youth culture - every decade inspires the new one.

Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.

While a large segment of the art world has obsessed over a tiny number of stars and their prices, an aesthetic shift has been occurring. It's not a movement - movements are more sure of themselves. It's a change of mood or expectation, a desire for art to be more than showy effects, big numbers, and gamesmanship.

The modern artist must live by craft and violence. His gods are violent gods. Those artists, so called, whose work does not show this strife, are uninteresting.

We haven't had a slew of artists, but the artists we do come out with have always had the same momentum.
