“In New York, the impact of these concentrated superskyscrapers on street scale and sunlight, on the city's aniquated support systems, circulation, and infrastructure, on its already tenuous livability, overrides any aesthetic. ... Art becomes worthless in a city brutalized by overdevelopment.” ArtCitiesSupportStreetsNew YorkArt IsImpactArchitectureScalesAestheticSunlightWorthlessInfrastructureCirculationSupport Systems Book:The tall building artistically reconsidered: the search for a skyscraper style Source: The tall building artistically reconsidered: the search for a skyscraper style
“We both [with Jo Andres] think that it is really important to our culture that we support all kinds of music, all kinds of theatre and all kinds of art because you never know what moves people. We've always believed that there should be a strong voice outside the commercial world. Certainly, the commercial world has a huge place in our culture and we also support that - but, we also want to support the stuff that lives outside of that.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWorldWantShouldKindArtImportantMovingCultureStrongStuffVoiceSupportHugeArt IsTheatreAll KindsAlways Believe Author:Steve Buscemi
“For corporations to be bedfellows with the arts is good business for both. The architecture that houses a company is a more visible statement than the president's in the annual report. Ditto interiors, particularly of offices and sometimes, dramatically, in plants. For solvent businesses, support of community cultural undertakings in music, drama, dance creates great goodwill. Also, the existence of such activities is often important to the executives and their families that companies want to keep or attract to keep.” WantArtImportantSometimesCultureHousePresidentCommunityExistenceCompanySupportDramaActivityOfficeArt IsPlantArchitectureStatementsCorporationsVisibleReportsExecutivesInteriorsGoodwillUndertakingsAnnualsGood BusinessBedfellowsAnnual Reports Author:Malcolm Forbes

“I have found that sharing this very intimate part of my life has been really powerful, because it has brought support from people I wasn't expecting. It's cathartic on many different levels. As I get older, I realize it's so much better to connect with people. It makes everything better to connect. Only connect. Why not have my art be about that?
