art way artist
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
artist done unreasonable
Every artist is unreasonable, because he or she is doing something that hasn't been done before.
art discipline boards
Unfortunately, the boards of art institutions tend to be populated with well-meaning supporters of the arts who often lack any business background or appetite for imposing appropriate discipline.
art collecting obsessive
Collectors become obsessive and then addicted. You become addicted to art and you can't live without it.
art appreciate reason
There were periods when the art market got overheated, but there is no reason it should appreciate dramatically.
appreciation art mean
To me, money is a means to do good. I reached a point in my life where I had enjoyed tremendous business success that afforded my family everything we could possibly want. My wife and I then decided that we could use our wealth to make a difference. So we created the Broad Foundations to do four things: to improve urban public education, to support innovative scientific and medical research, to foster art appreciation for audiences worldwide and to support civic initiatives in Los Angeles.
art thinking challenges
Contemporary art challenges us.. it broadens our horizons. It asks us to think beyond the limits of conventional wisdom.
art civilization people
Civilizations are not remembered by their business people, their bankers or lawyers. They're remembered by the arts.
cells people doubt
Without a doubt, stem cell research will lead to the dramatic improvement in the human condition and will benefit millions of people.
thinking common individual
I don't think it makes any sense for an individual to invest in common stocks unless they know the company, work at the company, and so on.
life moving challenges
Someone once told me I'm a sore winner, and they're right. I rarely take more than a moment to enjoy a success before I'm moving on and looking for the next challenge.
golf play long
I never play golf because it takes too long, and the business connections it produces can be made just as easily over an early breakfast.
strong together clients
I'm strong-willed. Architects are strong-willed. You get the best results with a strong client and a strong architect working together.
employee executives
A lot of executives act like their time is worth more than anyone else's. But I always respect an employee who guards his or her time, even from me.
