In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we dont know what were seeing, we overreact. – Jerry Saltz
The art world is molting – some would say melting. Galleries are closing museums are scaling back. – Jerry Saltz
These days, newish art can be priced between $10,000 and $25,000. When I tell artists that a new painting by a newish artist should go for around $1,200, they look at me like Im a flesh-eating virus. – Jerry Saltz
Many art-worlders have an if-you-say-so approach to art: Everyone is so scared of missing out on the next hot artist that its never clear whether people are liking work because they like it or because other people do.

Its funny how I use social media because I dont use it to promote my restaurants that much. I use it for social issues and I think thats what its for.
