Everybody knows that abstract art can be art, and most people know that they may not like it, even if they understand there's another purpose to it.

When I met Steve Kaufman, I thought he was Gene Simmons, but what an artist talent he is. He will be an art force in the art world to deal with.

Art doesn't transform. It just plain forms.

There must be something about art... almost all cultures have done art. It's a refining of the senses, which are there to keep us alive. As far as we know, no other animals do that.

Outside is the world; it's there. Pop Art looks out into the world.

My work sanitizes it (emotion) but it is also symbolic of commercial art sanitizing human feelings. I think it can be read that way.... People mistake the character of line for the character of art. But it's really the position of line that's important, or the position of anything, any contrast, not the character of it.

Pop Art looks out into the world. It doesnt look like a painting of something, it looks like the thing itself.
