"I’ve always said that an art critic can put aside politics around art." ― Jerry Saltz Topic(s): Art More From Jerry Saltz "Money is something that can be measured; art is not. It’s all subjective." "Just as Pollock used the drip to meld process and product, Richter ‘found’ and used the smudge and the blur to ravish the eye, creating works of psychic and physical power." "It’s great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated, even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations, large paintings, and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years." More In Art "If you take a look at history, you will find that the understanding of what is good and evil has always existed before the individual religions. The religions were only invented by people afterwards, in order to express this idea."― Salman Rushdie "Anyone who relishes art should love the extraordinary diversity and psychic magic of our art galleries. There’s likely more combined square footage for the showing of art on one New York block – West 24th Street between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues – than in all of Amsterdam’s or Hamburg’s galleries."― Jerry Saltz "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."― Albert Einstein
