I've seen beautiful art on the sides of buildings. I've seen beautiful art in museums. I've seen beautiful art in galleries. Beautiful art is everywhere.

What a beautiful art, but what a wretched profession.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

In bluntest terms, art museums risk being commercial institutions in which art is subsumed by economics and the experience of looking at art becomes a form of consumption.

Don't go to a museum with a destination. Museums are wormholes to other worlds. They are ecstasy machines.

The art world is molting - some would say melting. Galleries are closing; museums are scaling back.
