At the Basel Art Fair:
“What’s the situation with that mark on the wall?”
“That’s accidental. It was not made by the artist.”
…
“I haven’t been able to get five minutes with Mark for years.”
…
“I like to buy my art fast. Yesterday I bought a Dubuffet pretty fast.”
…
“So he was a dealer?”
“Yes. He was very active for a while, but not active so much now.”
“Not interesting then?”
“Not interesting.”
…
"Of course she ended up suing me.”
…
“Have you seen the Koons?”
“No. Is it good?”
“It’s Koons.”
…
"We live next door to Leonardo DiCaprio. He lives with his mother. Did you know that?”
…
“Basel is just days without food and sleep so far as I’m concerned.”
…
“I said it was eight thousand bucks and he offered seven, so I told him ‘we’re not having this conversation.’”
…
“So he bought this Franz West sculpture and didn’t even know it came with a car. He thought he was just buying a group of sculptures. When they delivered it to him they said, ‘where do you want the car?’ Hard to believe huh!”
“But true?”
“But true.”
…
“I’m just going to go over there and pat the dog.”
