I began to exercise a lot of cinematic muscle with the precepts I had learned in the New York art world. Film was intriguing. I began to think of art as elitist; film was not.

Any excuse to live in New York and do art. Has to be one of the most rewarding experiences in the world.

I saw these pictures at an art show in New York and just had to have them at our gallery.

New York is the greatest city in the world.

New York is my favorite city in the world.

New York is what Paris was in the twenties. . . the center of the art world. And we want to be in the center. It's the greatest place on earth. . . I've got a lot of friends here and I even brought my own cash.
