Galleries Quotes

During my time at high school and university in Kreuzlingen and St. Gallen, I traveled around Europe looking at art, visiting artists, studios, galleries and museums Picture Quote #1

I lived through being pooh-poohed by fine art galleries, saying, Digital is going to destroy the meaning behind photos. The motion side, the moment all of the cameras come alive with that motion, it was like a dream come true. It enables people to economically experiment with film Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought that there shouldn’t be any limit to the things that are well designed. And I think that people who consider that art should only be kept for art galleries and doesn’t have a role in public life, I think that’s too narrow Picture Quote #1

I’m a contemporary artist and I show in art galleries and museums. I show a number of photographs and films, but I also make television programs, books and some appetizing, all with the same concept Picture Quote #1

I love the art world, I love art galleries, I love what it means - I love art Picture Quote #1

It’s a mystery to me the way that contemporary art galleries function Picture Quote #1

I’ve always liked the fact that galleries are free to visit in New York Picture Quote #1

When I was a younger man, art was a lonely thing. No galleries, no collectors, no critics, no money. Yet, it was a golden age, for we all had nothing to lose and a vision to gain. Today it is not quite the same. It is a time of tons of verbiage, activity, consumption. Which condition is better for the world at large I shall not venture to discuss. But I do know, that many of those who are driven to this life are desperately searching for those pockets of silence where we can root and grow. We must all hope we find them Picture Quote #1

I realized that I could have been in galleries much sooner. I just needed to get past the fear of rejection. I still feel nervous when I approach a new gallery, although it has become more like a job now. The first step on this long road was getting past that initial fear Picture Quote #1

I remember going into galleries and seeing this thing called conceptual art, and I understand people’s marginalization from what the art subculture is because if you haven’t crashed the codes, and if you don’t know what it is, you feel it’s a conspiracy against your unintelligence. You feel it’s fraud Picture Quote #1

In the times in which we live it is far too restricting to say that art can only be found in art galleries and not touch people’s everyday lives. I want to use any means that are necessary to communicate with people what I feel about things. There are no rules. And if there are rules, then you may as well break them Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought that there shouldn’t be any limit to the things that are well designed. And I think that people who consider that art should only be kept for art galleries and doesn’t have a role in public life, I think that’s too narrow Picture Quote #1

As far as my opinion on galleries, I think they are a great thing.I see them as another outlet. I’m sure by now you’ve figured out that I do my work for everybody to see. That’s the whole point Picture Quote #1

Smart art galleries know it’s not the words on paper but the emotion in the piece that makes clients pull out the credit card or check book. The gallery’s number one concern is will this stuff sell? What your bio, artist’s statement or resume articulates will be of no help if you don’t make art that connects with buyers Picture Quote #1

It’s the first time in the history of the world that creatives are also distributors. And that’s very profound if you think that up until the recent history, permission was required for us to be able to share work at any sort of scale. We had to get permission from galleries, from ad agencies or photo editors to be able to have our work out there. And now anybody with access to a computer can show their work in 200 countries around the world Picture Quote #1

When I was your age, art was a lonely thing: no galleries, no collecting, no critics, no money. We didn’t have mentors. We didn’t have parents. We were alone. But it was a great time, because we had nothing to lose and a vision to gain Picture Quote #1

Culture, like the kingdom of heaven, lies within us, and not in foreign galleries and books Picture Quote #1

Of course I believe imaginative architecture can make a difference to people’s lives, but I wish it was possible to divert some of the effort we put into ambitious museums and galleries into the basic architectural building blocks of society Picture Quote #1

The last time money left the art world, intrepid types maxed out their credit cards and opened galleries, and a few of them have become the best in the world Picture Quote #1

The art world is molting - some would say melting. Galleries are closing; museums are scaling back Picture Quote #1

Galleries began growing in both number and size in the late seventies, when artists who worked in lofts wanted to exhibit their work in spaces similar to the ones the art was made in Picture Quote #1

There's something pleasing about large, well - lit spaces. I love that dealers are willing to take massive chances in order to give this much room to their artists. Most of all, I love that more galleries showing more art gives more artists a shot Picture Quote #1

Rumors sound of galleries asking artists for upsized art and more of it. I've heard of photographers asked to print larger to increase the wall power and salability of their work. Everything winds up set to maximum in order to feed the beast Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m fortunate in one respect; that I don’t have a lot of work in my studio. Most of it’s out, gone; either sold or in galleries. I work with a lot of galleries Picture Quote #1

Entering into the spirit of this interior, you will discover the best possible atmosphere in which to show fine paintings or listen to music. It is this atmosphere that seems to me most lacking in our art galleries, museums, music halls and theaters Picture Quote #1

The paintings in our galleries are seen one day in bright sunshine and another day in the dim light of a rainy afternoon, yet they remain the same paintings, ever faithful, ever convincing. To a marvelous extent they carry their own light within. For their truth is not that of a perfect replica, it is the truth of art Picture Quote #1

I am all for art’s finding a large audience. But the way that’s happening now, with big works filling big galleries and bigger shows, is mostly stopping statements from being made. Or heard. Or talked about. Or really examined. It’s watering things down Picture Quote #1

Maybe this is a utopian view of art but I do believe that art can function as a vehicle, that it isn’t just a cultural pursuit, something that happens in art galleries. Unless art is linked to experience and the fear and joy of that, it becomes mere icing on the cake Picture Quote #1

Milan, for me, is a city of discovery. You can find some amazing gardens behind some great houses; I also love finding beautiful galleries and incredible shops, but you have to explore. And the food is amazing Picture Quote #1
