"From early on, very early on, I understood that art is not about what you say. It’s about these other things that you don’t say."

"The job of the artist is to make a gesture and really show people what their potential is. It’s not about the object, and it’s not about the image; it’s about the viewer. That’s where the art happens. The objects are absolutely valueless. But what happens inside the viewer—that’s where the value is."
-Jeff Koons
