«GOOD BUSINESS IS THE BEST ART»

«The gallery had a wonderful exhibition of old movie posters, like garbos for the twenties, the huge beautiful posters that were printed in German, they're about 8' by 10'-things like the original King Kong and Charlie Chaplin. I always bought the smaller American movie posters and they're just not worth anything. The original Cassandre posters are selling for $35 000. Can you believe it? And when I think of how I let them slip through my fingers. A print of one is about $5000 or $10 000. Posters. Can you believe it?
