It is only an auctioneer who can equally and impartially admire all schools of art.

Unless you are a born connoisseur of art, you will not be able to judge by yourself why certain art is superior to other art.
Art is the job of the privileged.
The work ethic at art school is completely different than the work ethic amongst people who get into music. People who paint, it's an honorable thing to spend all day and all night in front of your canvas - that is the romantic vision of the painter.
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.
I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times.
I struggle with the idea of comparing people's work and art. The notion of giving awards or putting a competitive spin on something that is a relative art form is sort of odd to me.
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.
Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning.
The only thing they can't teach you at art school is art.
Auction houses run a rigged game. They know exactly how many people will be bidding on a work and exactly who they are. In a gallery, works of art need only one person who wants to pay for them.
