«IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE AND IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE»- ANDY WARHOL

Jerry Saltz, art critic for the Village Voice in New York, has complained: "At no time in the last 50 years has what an art critic writes had less effect on the market than now." Whatever he writes, Saltz believes, has no effect. Might as well shrug and walk away. I just wonder why a critic even cares that their writing has such a negligible influence on the market.»
