Summer is a great time to visit art museums, which offer the refreshing rinse of swimming pools – only instead of cool water, you immerse yourself in art. – Jerry Saltz
Auction houses run a rigged game. They know exactly how many people will be bidding on a work and exactly who they are. In a gallery, works of art need only one person who wants to pay for them. – Jerry Saltz
The forties, seventies, and the nineties, when money was scarce, were great periods, when the art world retracted but it was also reborn. – Jerry Saltz
All art comes from other art, and all immigrants come from other places. – Jerry Saltz
