Charles Saatchi Quotes

Be the Worst You Can Be: Life’s Too Long for Patience and Virtue Picture Quote #1

Some people in the art world bemoan the hedge fund millionaires spending freely to acquire ostentatious displays of wealth and coolth for their giddily chic designer duplexes. Others bemoan art being treated as a commodity. But most of the bemoaning is because the art world is stuffed full of bemoaners, bemoaning about everything Picture Quote #1

I don’t know very many people in the art world, only socialise with the few I like, and have little time to gnaw my nails with anxiety about any criticism I hear about Picture Quote #1

I don’t like clothes shopping and trying on outfits in stuffy cubicles in men’s shops, looking hideous in the wrap-round mirrors, is something I attempt as seldom as possible Picture Quote #1

I liked working in advertising, but don’t believe my taste in art, such as it is, was entirely formed by TV commercials. And I don’t feel especially conflicted enjoying a Mantegna one day, a Carl Andre the next day and a brash student work the next Picture Quote #1

Its obvious nonsense, but it makes nice people feel good about themselves to do their bit for the planet. Its vanity of a grotesque kind to believe that mankind, and our carbon footprint, has more impact on the future of Earth than Nature, which bends our planet to its will, as it sees fit Picture Quote #1

I can’t write. I can handle bits of simple-minded advert copy or a poster slogan, so answering questions is about all I’m good for Picture Quote #1

I have asked to have no funeral, and no memorial service. I hate other people’s and would certainly not appreciate my own Picture Quote #1

I don’t know very many people in the art world, only socialise with the few I like, and have little time to gnaw my nails with anxiety about any criticism I hear about Picture Quote #1

Art collectors are pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. What matters and survives is the art. I buy art that I like. I buy it to show it off in exhibitions. Then, if I feel like it, I sell it and buy more art Picture Quote #1

I’ve heard that almost all the people crowding around the big art openings barely look at the work on display and are just there to hobnob. Nothing wrong with that, except that none of them ever come back to look at the art - but they will tell everyone, and actually believe, that they have seen the exhibition Picture Quote #1

I find the theatre faintly embarrassing for the actors performing on stage. It seems rather showy-off in an undignified way Picture Quote #1

Artistic credentials are au courant in the important business of being seen as cultured, elegant and, of course, stupendously rich Picture Quote #1

I may not be much good at most things, but if I didn’t have the pleasure of planning and installing shows, and doing it better than anyone else, I would have stopped buying art many years ago Picture Quote #1

I hate to sound like a romantic adolescent, but I believe artists don’t generally see art as a career choice; they simply can’t overcome their desire to make art, and will live on little income for as long as they have to, before they start to sell their work - or give up and get a paying job Picture Quote #1

I don’t like clothes shopping and trying on outfits in stuffy cubicles in men’s shops, looking hideous in the wrap-round mirrors, is something I attempt as seldom as possible Picture Quote #1

Few people in contemporary art demonstrate much curiosity. The majority spend their days blathering on, rather than trying to work out why one artist is more interesting than another, or why one picture works and another doesn’t Picture Quote #1

I don’t buy art just to make artists happy any more than I want to make them sad if I sell their work Picture Quote #1

There are no rules about investment. Sharks can be good. Artist’s dung can be good. Oil on canvas can be good Picture Quote #1

I have spent too long being able to manipulate the answers I want from market research to rely upon its findings any more than I do weather forecasts Picture Quote #1

If I stop being on good behaviour for a moment, my dark little secret is that I don’t actually believe many people in the art world have much feeling for art and simply cannot tell a good artist from a weak one, until the artist has enjoyed the validation of others - a received pronunciation Picture Quote #1

If you study a great work of art, you’ll probably find the artist was a kind of genius. And geniuses are different to you and me Picture Quote #1

I spoil my children rotten and hope to leave them enough so they can do the same to theirs Picture Quote #1

Artists need a lot of collectors, all kinds of collectors, buying their art Picture Quote #1

I regularly find myself waking up to art I passed by or simply ignored Picture Quote #1

I primarily buy art to show it off Picture Quote #1

If you can’t take a good kicking, you shouldn’t parade how much luckier you are than other people Picture Quote #1

I have never cared enough about money to worry about spending it, and have been fortunate to make enough to be spoiled rotten Picture Quote #1
