More From Jerry Saltz
- "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."
- "If only we could persuade galleries to observe a fallow period in which, for two months every other year, new and old works of art could be sold in back rooms and all main galleries would be devoted to revisiting shows gone by."
- "The alchemy of good curating amounts to this: Sometimes, placing one work of art near another makes one plus one equal three. Two artworks arranged alchemically leave each intact, transform both, and create a third thing."

- "Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s."― Camille Paglia
- "Well, when I was younger, I lied all the time, because once you understand the power of lying, it’s really like magic because you transform reality for people."― Louis C. K.
- "Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science, but an art."― William Bernbach
