Famous quotes

  • « True love is quiescent, except in the nascent moments of true humility. »
    Bryant H. McGill
  • « 'Untitled' is a time machine that can transport you to 1992, an edgy moment when the art world was crumbling, money was scarce, and artists like Tiravanija were in the nascent stages of combining Happenings, performance art, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, and the do-it-yourself ethos of punk. Meanwhile, a new art world was coming into being. »
    Jerry Saltz
  • « A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant. »
    Francois de La Rochefoucauld
