favorite quote from an interview for a book i’m oddly compelled to read…

why is france such a poor market for contemporary art, compared to london, new york and LA?

“because the french have a more refined sense of taste and self-worth and are therefore much less suggestible to hype and mediocrity. i try to avoid the country as much as possible.”

– charles saatchi

maybe it’s the biblical format for words on the art world.  kl
