I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from the statues that are in all the other museums.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I once walked through an exhibit in a large American museum that displayed First Nations artifacts in old dioramas, with mannequins that hadn't been changed since the 19th century.
I'm lucky. Usually you're dead to get your own museum, but I'm still alive to see mine.
I'm delighted. I don't know of anybody who had a statue built of them while they were living. It's a great feeling.
What would I put in a museum? Probably a museum! That's an amusing relic of our past.
I do not exactly remember at what period I started my museum which absorbed so much of my time.
Some time ago, we went to Asia and took a camera along, and I began to do what I'd done even years ago doing people. I couldn't get interested in it. And I did hundreds of photographs of details of the monuments as sculpture.
I love my sculptures, and I was lucky I had them for 50 years because no one would look at them, and I really liked having them around.
The Elgin Marbles were supposed to be on the Parthenon. For many works of art, a museum is an artificial setting - a zoo, not a natural habitat.
Even though the museums guarding their precious property fence everything off, in my own studio, I made them so you and I could walk in and around, and among these sculptures.
A museum is a place where one should lose one's head.
