It's great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations large paintings and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years.

What strikes me is the fact that in our society art has become something which is only related to objects and not to individuals or to life.

Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing sad as a factory.

The beginning of a friendship the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.

I believe entertainment can aspire to be art and can become art but if you set out to make art you're an idiot.

Even in literature and art no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will nine times out of ten become original without ever having noticed it.

The more horrifying this world becomes the more art becomes abstract.

The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.

Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion on the other hand produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.

What is being called the UN 'gender architecture' is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality.

The speed of change makes you wonder what will become of architecture.

If a building becomes architecture then it is art.

I probably spent the first 20 years of my life wanting to be as American as possible. Through my 20s and into my 30s I began to become aware of how so much of my art and architecture has a decidedly Eastern character.

The frightening thought that what you draw may become a building makes for reasoned lines.

Architecture tends to consume everything else it has become one's entire life.

Anger becomes limiting restricting. You can't see through it. While anger is there look at that too. But after a while you have to look at something else.

In the heat of our campaigns we have all become accustomed to a little anger and exaggeration. Yet on the whole our political process has served us well.
