Delicious Sardines

Conversations about art these days usually hazard the gutterball of professional market talk. Figuratively speaking, most of us are eating out of sardine tins next to bacchanalian banquets... it can be difficult most times to remember how healthy sardines are for your system.

Here are a few items from the Art Newspaper and ArtNet's Magazine concerning the dragon-like nature of our artworld/art market:

Robert Storr: "...As the saying goes, money talks, but generally, when it comes to art?s substance, it doesn?t have much to say. "

Jerry Saltz: "...At the end of the day art still has a private inside and a public outside. It still exudes an alchemical otherness...."

Charlie Finch: "Yes, everyone is making money, but the money is really making them."
