“Art for the most part, is about concentration, solitude and determination. It’s really not about other people’s needs and assumptions. I’m not interested in the notion that art serves something. Art is useless, not useful.”
Richard Serra (b. 1938, San Francisco) Strike: To Roberta and Rudy 1969–71 Hot-rolled steel 8 ft 1 in x 24 ft x 1 ½ in Guggenheim Museum, New York
“I have found that in accepting and immersing myself in subject matter I paint with more intensity and that the ‘hows’ of painting are more inevitably determined by the ‘whats’.” — David Park
