- I
start a picture and I finish it. I don't think
about art while I work. I try to think about life.

- I
was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract
expressionist, or I'd draw a ram's head, really
messy. I'd never win painting contests. I remember
losing to a guy who did a perfect spiderman.

- If
you’ve made seminal work, you never know
when the next one is coming or where it’s
coming from. Most artists never make a seminal
piece of art in their lives, and if you’ve
made two, which I have, then I’ve done all
right
Tracey

Knowing
- I
know what I’m doing with my work, and that’s
really a nice feeling, that I’ve created
something that wasn’t there before, that’s
mine.

- I've
worked really hard. I've made three pieces of
seminal art in my life. If I died tomorrow, I'd
be remembered for making them. There are a lot
of artists who, no matter how hard they work in
their lives, will never make anything seminal.

- You
do most of your talking about the works and try
to say why you think Every artist is a law to
himself. There's no method.
Clement
Greenberg > Art
Criticism, Art
Work
- You
like it, that's all, whether it's a landscape
or abstract. You like it. It hits you. You don't
have to read it. The work of art-sculpture or
painting-forces your eye.

Abstract
- Art
goes on in your head. If you said something interesting,
that might be a title for a work of art and I'd
write it down. Art comes from everywhere. It's
your response to your surroundings. There are
on-going ideas I've been working out for years,
like how to make a rainbow in a gallery. I've
always got a massive list of titles, of ideas
for shows, and of works without titles.
Damien
Hirst > Art,

Work, Titles
- People
say to me that my work's sensational. And I go,
"What's wrong with sensation? It's like touching
skin." Sensation is an element of what I
do, and why not? It's not sensational for the
sake of being sensational, but it's sensational
art.
Damien
Hirst > Art

- Any
artist will tell you he's really only interested
in the stuff he's doing now. He will, always.
It's true, and it should be like that.
David

- The
pictures on the walls aren't like movies. They
don't move, they don't talk, and they'll last
longer. They will last longer.
David
Hockney > Art

- I'm
always trying to create work that doesn't make
viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so
that they feel open participation.
Jeff
Koons > Art
Work, Creative
- I'm
basically the idea person. I'm not physically
involved in the production. I don't have the necessary
abilities, so I go to the top people, whether
I'm working with my foundry or in physics. I'm
always trying to maintain the integrity of the
work.
Jeff
Koons > Art
Work, Creative,
Ideas
- I'm
not interested in corporations having my work.
Some corporations collect my work, that's fine.
But let's say I use a specific product, like a
Spalding basketball, I don't want Spalding to
have my basketball. I don't do it for that reason.

- The
basic story line is about art leaving the realm
of the artist, when the artist loses control of
the work.

- Initially,
a lot of people are put off by my work. I don't
purposefully start out to make something grotesque..
it just ends up that way.

- There
are several questions that I always ask myself,
and that are at the base of my work: What is the
definition of "natural" and the definition
of "artificial," and how do those definitions
change over time?

- I
actually graduated as a painter, so I don't have
the many specific skills need to make all of the
kinds of work I am interested in. I work with
other people to make my work.

- My
work's an attempt to challenge notions about nudity
in a public space and how the body is represented
in our culture. When you see 300 people naked
in Grand Central Station, or a river of flesh
flowing through the beauty aisles of Selfridges
department store, it makes you think about all
sorts of social and political issues.

- In
my work, the body is used repetitively as a medium
to create a living sculpture to deal with the
humanity and the vulnerability of the body, juxtaposed
to the public space and the concrete world.
