Art collecting has traditionally been the domain of wealthy individuals in search of rewards beyond the purely financial.

The work of artists is to find what's humanly possible - possibility's furthest reaches.

Artists need a lot of collectors, all kinds of collectors, buying their art.

Art history is littered with work that involves light.

I'm going to put a museum on my ranch and people keep saying, 'That's a huge idea.' Yeah, it's big, but not bigger than the average big movie. A hundred million dollars in the art world is a substantial amount of cash to do anything. That's maybe a big gallery's total sales for a given year.

I would just sketch everything that was being made for the collections.

Art history looks at art works and the people who have created them.

When money and hype recede from the art world, one thing I won't miss will be what curator Francesco Bonami calls the 'Eventocracy.' All this flashy 'art-fair art' and those highly produced space-eating spectacles and installations wow you for a minute until you move on to the next adrenaline event.

If we imagine that the only right that we have is to make commodifiable objects, then we limit our practice, and we limit the great potential for an understanding between collectors, curators and galleries.

I collect a lot of art.
