"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 "Koons’s work has always stood apart for its one-at-a-time perfection, epic theatricality, a corrupted, almost sick drive for purification, and an obsession with traditional artistic values." "Robert Rauschenberg was not a giant of American art; he was the giant. No American created so many aesthetic openings for so many artists." "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." More In Art "Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing."― Edmund Burke "Homer has taught all other poets the art of telling lies skillfully."― Aristotle "No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change."― John Ruskin
