- I
am not a black artist, I am an artist.
Jean
Michel Basquiat > Artist,

- 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

- 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.

- It's
very hard as an artist to admit you have a desire
to be famous. To be an artist is not about fame;
it's about art, which is this intangible thing
that has got to have lots of integrity, whereas
being famous doesn't really take any integrity.
But I think you have to admit that you want to
be famous, otherwise you can't be an artist. Art
and fame together are like a desire to live forever.

it be that the artist who paints flowers starts

compared to landscape or the human figure.

- I
think Lichtenstein is a giant bore. Or has become

- Duchamp
is a hugely overrated artist. Duchamp was the
first artist who really became a great master
at the art of curating his own reputation. Other
artists had done it before, but Duchamp was the
first modernist artist to do it.

- I
am often viewed as a "conservative"
critic. On the other hand, what does "conservative"
and what does "radical" mean in today's
context? As far as I can make up, when an artist
says that I am conservative, it means that I haven't
praised him recently.
Robert
Hughes > Art

try to be a truthful artist and I try to show
a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.

be an artist. As an artist I'm most concerned

artist is a receptacle for emotions that come
from all over the place; from the sky, from the

don't like the idea of being an artist on the
outside looking in, because I've felt that way
as a migrant. I want to be in the middle of things
and create pieces that reflect the world we live
in, because we all share the same world.
