After thirty years of looking at new work in galleries and even newer work in studios, I am very familiar with the experience of being completely at a loss when confronting a new idea or image.

More quotes by Nicholas Serota

The argument that new vision becomes the reference point for the future, is a line that I have been driven to use on many occasions.

An honest curator will admit that judgement is fallible, especially for art made yesterday.

I have never really understood the objection to art which is specifically made for a gallery or museum, and so cannot be collected by an individual or taken home. It is rather like saying that all music should be confined to the chamber work or novels to the short story.
