“Even a self-serving narcissistic showoff like me finds this new art world too toe-curling for comfort” - Saatchi on art
Another great quote:
“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. For professional curators, selecting specific paintings for an exhibition is a daunting prospect, far too revealing a demonstration of their lack of what we in the trade call “an eye”.
