In the seventies, a group of American artists seized the means not of production but of reproduction.

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. Everyone is keeping up with the Joneses, and there are more Joneses than ever. – Jerry Saltz

I love art dealers. In some ways, theyre my favorite people in the art world. Really.

Many are visionaries. – Jerry Saltz
