Arne Glimcher Quotes

Art is a tool by which society extends its perception Picture Quote #1

Fairs are beneath the dignity of art. To stand there in a booth and hawk your wares - it is just not how you sell art Picture Quote #1

In the early 1990s we witnessed the emergence of a revitalized contemporary Chinese art world that began as a reaction against the government-approved Social Realist style. Zhang Xiaogang, Huang Yong Ping, Ai WeiWei, Yue Minjun, and Wang Guangyi were among the first group of artists to establish a movement that became known as Cynical Realism Picture Quote #1

Some prescient American collectors, including Vicki and Kent Logan and Mera and Donald Rubell, began collecting Chinese art before 2000 with a genuine passion, but as the auction prices exploded everyone was beating a path to the galleries and artist studios in China. It became the ‘China thing.’ Picture Quote #1

There is more to representing art than selling art. The life of the gallery is dependent on the renewal and refreshment of its artists and dealers. When that stops happening, it’s the end Picture Quote #1

I would begin by collecting lithographs and etchings. It’s a way of coming in and benefiting from real quality art. Even younger artists make wonderful prints. Prints can become very valuable. That’s how I began collecting Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been in love with the movies. They’re the dreams of the 20th Century Picture Quote #1

I was an actor as a kid in Boston. Then I went to art school with Brice Marden, the Massachusetts College of Art. So the hybrid of being an actor and artist is a director Picture Quote #1

I like the idea of a love story between men. There is a great affection between men, which exists much more in ethnic groups: Latin, Italian, Jewish Picture Quote #1

If Abstract Expression reached for the sublime, Pop turned ordinary imagery into icons. Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol illuminated the transformative power of context and the process of reproduction. Claes Oldenburg’s soft ice-cream cones and hamburgers changed sculpture from hard to soft, from stasis to transformation Picture Quote #1

Art is not an investment. Art is something you buy because you are financially solvent enough to give yourself a pleasure of living with great works rather than having to just see them in museums. People who are buying art at the top of the market as an investment are foolish Picture Quote #1

Elvis Presley’s music never meant anything to me. Mambo was the music I loved - it spoke to me Picture Quote #1

I think very often the price paid for a work is the trophy itself Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in selling art by transparencies. Art is a firsthand experience Picture Quote #1

Everything happens through relationships Picture Quote #1

Film and art are close together Picture Quote #1

People see owning a gallery as a way to get rich. I never thought that I could get rich in the art world. I wanted a life in art. I wanted to live with artists. I wanted to make beautiful shows Picture Quote #1

Historically, art has always had a market. When one medieval fiefdom defeated another they would drag back its jewels, gold, tapestries and art objects as the spoils of war. Art equaled power, riches and culture Picture Quote #1

It’s possible to have more than one interest. I’ve been a painter and did summer stock Picture Quote #1

Your life moves in patterns toward things, and things that we achieve finally are part of this mosaic. I just think that we create our own fate Picture Quote #1

There is more to representing art than selling art. The life of the gallery is dependent on the renewal and refreshment of its artists and dealers. When that stops happening, it’s the end Picture Quote #1
