Art dealing is when you're doing it as a business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never called my work an 'art'. It's part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
Art is a way to express yourself and through that you can escape a bad situation.
There's always been an ongoing struggle between commerce and art.
I make pictures and someone comes in and calls it art.
It is a myth that art has to be sold. It is not like stocking a grocery store where people fill a pushcart. Art is a product that has no apparent need. The salesperson builds the need in the mind of the buyer.
A lot of my work is about sales. And it was about being independent from the art market.
Art is a liaison between some sort of deranged mentality and others who are not going through it.
Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.
The goal of art-making in general is communication.
Art is about the messy and marvelous business of coming to your senses - and also, to the senses of the world.
