Art Collecting Quotes

Art is at least in part a way of collecting information about the universe Picture Quote #1

I didn’t start to collect records and listen to guitar players properly until I went to art school, when I’d already been playing for five years. So my style was already formed, and that’s why I think it’s so unique Picture Quote #1

I collect human relationships very much the way others collect fine art Picture Quote #1

I collect a lot of art Picture Quote #1

I love and collect contemporary art and go to all the art fairs. I love Damien Hirst and Matthew Barney.

People are richer and more complex than just their day-to-day professional pursuits might suggest Picture Quote #1

I am only limited by the amount of life I have left to capture the ideas I am already working on. Another problem is that I am not sure if I would rather create or collect art. Collecting art is another passion of mine Picture Quote #1

I’ve been collecting art for much of my adult life. I started around 1960. And my wife and I really enjoy art a great deal. We don’t have a lot of money, so we have works on paper, but we enjoy them a great deal Picture Quote #1

I’ve enjoyed collecting. I’ve enjoyed art ever since - I’ll tell you when - I went to Columbia. I went to the Met, and I saw Poussin’s ‘Rape of the Sabine Women’, and it’s this incredible, epic, great, great painting 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

African art is functional, it serves a purpose. It’s not a dormant. It’s not a means to collect the largest cheering section. It should be healing, a source a joy. Spreading positive vibrations Picture Quote #1

I treat clothing or a piece of jewelry like it was a piece of art, even though people who collect clothes get a bad rap because they’re told it’s all vanity Picture Quote #1

I collect firearms, and I’ve got a Winchester, an Indian rifle. It has tacks for every warrior that was shot, like notches on a pistol, and it’s got feathers and beads hanging off it. It’s like a work of art Picture Quote #1

But you know in the contemporary art world, you pose a very interesting conundrum. All sorts of people collect very contemporary art, yet when it comes to the music which is analogous to that sort of art, they are not interested, or perhaps even hostile Picture Quote #1

I collect art, and I drink wine... things that I like that I had never been exposed to. But I never said, ‘I’m going to buy art to impress this crowd.’ That’s just ridiculous to me. I don’t live my life like that, because how could you be happy with yourself? Picture Quote #1

A molcajete is a stone mortar and pestle from Mexico. They’re great for grinding spices and making salsa and guacamole because they give everything a nice coarse and rustic feel. I’ve never collected anything, but I think I might start collecting these because each one is decorated differently Picture Quote #1

Meeting and talking to the artist adds a special element to collecting contemporary art that makes the work an irreplaceable treasure rather than just another possession Picture Quote #1

Once I had a steel job for half of a day. I never went back to collect my pay Picture Quote #1

People were more interested in the phenomena than the art itself. This, combined with the growing interest in collecting art as an investment and the resultant boom in the art market, made it a difficult time for a young artist to remain sincere without becoming cynical Picture Quote #1

Once you start collecting records you learn more and more about jazz and blues Picture Quote #1

If you’re a film fan, collecting video is sort of like marijuana. Laser discs, they’re definitely cocaine. Film prints are heroin, all right? You’re shooting smack when you start collecting film prints. So, I kinda got into it in a big way, and I’ve got a pretty nice collection I’m real proud of Picture Quote #1

Once we start collecting, the more you have, the more it gets valuable and that will stop us from responding to the present and taking on new ideas what the artists are doing now Picture Quote #1

To repeat, the way you get to the huge, impossible yes is, you start collecting a lot of easy, small yeses Picture Quote #1
