Actually I think Art lies in both directions – the broad strokes, big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand, that kind of thing. – Peter Hammill
I continue to believe, contrary to the given wisdom, that its more interesting to have an album – or, indeed, an individual song – which has variety rather than homogeneity. – Peter Hammill
The crucial question one comes back to is the examination without that experience is meaningless. And I think its true that society is becoming more and more passive, less and less fired up with enthusiasm, in many spheres. – Peter Hammill
I love art dealers. In some ways, theyre my favorite people in the art world. Really. I love that they put their money where their taste is, create their own aesthetic universes, support artists, employ people, and do all of this while letting us see art for free. Many are visionaries. – Jerry Saltz
