Top 66 Quotes About Art Galleries

Robert A. Heinlein

Quotes About Art Galleries #189866
#5. An interesting thing happened in 1989, right as I was graduating: the stock market crashed and really changed the landscape of the art world in New York. It made the kind of work I was doing interesting to galleries that wouldn't have normally been interested in it.

Matthew Barney

Quotes About Art Galleries #244557
#6. Maybe this is a utopian view of art but I do believe that art can function as a vehicle, that it isn't just a cultural pursuit, something that happens in art galleries. Unless art is linked to experience and the fear and joy of that, it becomes mere icing on the cake.

Antony Gormley

Quotes About Art Galleries #250575
#7. I love going to art galleries. The Tate Modern is one of my favourite things to do. But I don't invest in the history of it and I don't read up on it. I am a guy who would buy a print rather than buy an original.

James McAvoy

Quotes About Art Galleries #264296

Hans Ulrich Obrist

Quotes About Art Galleries #311884

Marina Abramovic

Quotes About Art Galleries #362914

Maurizio Cattelan

Quotes About Art Galleries #381543
#14. Art exhibitions would be less censored if they were rated, G or NC-17, like movies. People in general see galleries and museums as family-appropriate excursions. Censorship is a provided system which caters to lazy parenting, which is publicly-funded and socially accepted.

Adamo Macri

Quotes About Art Galleries #414431

J.G. Ballard

Quotes About Art Galleries #456867
#19. Don't ask me my opinions on art, because I don't have any. Aesthetic concerns have played a relatively minor role in my life, and I have to smile when a critic talks, for example, of my "palette". I find it impossible to spend hours in galleries analyzing and gesticulating.

Luis Bunuel

Quotes About Art Galleries #491854
#20. In 1946 there was no money in art, no dealer galleries, no craft shops. After the war we started to teach art in every school for the first time. Our generation played a crucial role. We were the stepping stones towards today's galleries.

Theresa Sjoquist

Quotes About Art Galleries #516895

Michael Dumontier

Quotes About Art Galleries #540969
#22. When you fall in love with a work of art, you'd die to meet the artist. I am a student of the galleries of Pacific sunsets, full moon rises on the ocean, the clouds from an airplane, autumn forests in Raleigh, first fallen snows.
And I'm dying to meet the artist.

Eckhart Tolle

Quotes About Art Galleries #594958
#25. I lived through being pooh-poohed by fine art galleries, saying, "Digital is going to destroy the meaning behind photos." The motion side, the moment all of the cameras come alive with that motion, it was like a dream come true. It enables people to economically experiment with film.

Russell James

Quotes About Art Galleries #615465
#26. I had given up ( around 1950, fh) any ambition of making a career as an artist ... ..I had lost all interest in the art shown in galleries and museums, and I no longer aspired to fit in that world. I loved the paintings done by children, and my only desire was to do the same for my own pleasure.

Jean Dubuffet

Quotes About Art Galleries #627141

Michelangelo Pistoletto

Quotes About Art Galleries #649156

Quotes About Art Galleries #697144
#31. Anyone who relishes art should love the extraordinary diversity and psychic magic of our art galleries.

Jerry Saltz

Steve Martin

Quotes About Art Galleries #1113236

Arne Glimcher

Quotes About Art Galleries #1351383
#48. I am all for art's finding a large audience. But the way that's happening now, with big works filling big galleries and bigger shows, is mostly stopping statements from being made. Or heard. Or talked about. Or really examined. It's watering things down.

Julian Beever

Quotes About Art Galleries #1552149

Jerry Saltz

Quotes About Art Galleries #1572097
#54. Sometime when I was in my mid-twenties I noticed, "Hey, even I don't go into too many art galleries. Why? Because I don't like the vibe in them.

Jerry Saltz

Quotes About Art Galleries #1661444

Quotes About Art Galleries #1787176
