“I don’t think there really is an art world. There’s a few good artists and then everything else is extra. [ … ] I really don’t think the art world exists. I really don’t think it exists. I mean there’s people who like paintings and then there’s dealers and then there’s people who work at the museum, but I don’t think they’re collectively an “art world.” –Jean-Michel Basquiat, interviewed by Becky Johnston and Tamra Davis
