“A middle-aged businessman? [...] he seems every bit as interested in his £3m country house, his £100m fortune [...] These days he employs 65 people, including a full-time business manager [...]“

Etc.

Maar ook, over criticaster Adrian Searle, die over hem schreef “The shallows of Andy Warhol’s art were deeper than Hirst. [...] Joseph Beuys had better dress sense. Paul Thek put weirder things in boxes, Francis Bacon told funnier jokes, and Jeff Koons had a smarter team of photorealist knock-off artists working for him.”:

Leuk leesvoer kortom.
