art museums giving
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.
happens things-happen
Everything happens through relationships.
art perception tools
Art is a tool by which society extends its perception.
beautiful art people
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.
No one's ever called me anything but 'Arne.'
thinking trophies paid
I think very often the price paid for a work is the trophy itself.
art school kids
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.
night bidding auctions
When Robert Benton was doing the movie 'In the Still of the Night,' I'd choreographed the auction scene and supplied the paintings and had a bit part - I was bidding against Meryl Streep.
moving fate thinking
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.
aesthetic impulse interested lower saved taught
I actually taught perceptual psychology at N.Y.U. when I was younger. I was interested in the aesthetic impulse in lower primates. But what really interested me in Dian Fossey was that she made a difference - she saved the gorillas.
latin men italian
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.
managers
I've been told I'm a good midcareer manager.

art world wonderful
The most wonderful time to be in the art world was in the sixties, because it wasn't a business - there was no business of doing art.
