In the United States there has been a kind of a structure in the Modern art world. The New York School was nearly a coherent thing-for a minute.

Frankly, it really is state-of-the-art. There's only a handful of these things in the United States. There's some bigger ones, maybe some more impressive ones, but that facility they have there is terrific, no question about it.

New York has more hermits than will be found in all the forests, mountains and deserts of the United States.

I think of New York as a puree and the rest of the United States as vegetable soup.

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

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.
