"Art is changing. Again. Here. Now. Opportunities to witness this are rare, so attend and observe." ― Jerry Saltz Topic(s): Art More From Jerry Saltz "My nominee for Best Picture of the year – maybe the best picture ever, because it’s essentially made up of and is an ecstatic love letter to all other movies – is Christian Marclay’s endlessly enticing must-see masterpiece ‘The Clock.’" "John Currin’s exaggerated realism and his twisted women kept me off balance, never knowing if they were sincere or ironic or some new emotion." "These days, newish art can be priced between $10,000 and $25,000. When I tell artists that a new painting by a newish artist should go for around $1,200, they look at me like I’m a flesh-eating virus." More In Art "In art the best is good enough."― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "It dawned on me that art was the way I could survive."― Maurice Sendak "Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others."― Albert Camus
