Art Quotes
“When museums are built these days, architects, directors, and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties, eat dinner, wine-and-dine donors.

“The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.”
-- Arthur Erickson
“Take care to sell your horse before he dies. The art of life is passing losses on.”

-- Camille Paglia
