What is more important - an artist's prestige, that is suitable for portraits in women's magazines, or his artistic work?
Is the artist merely a biological machine that tries to produce that what is requested, or does he have the right to integrate the content of his thoughts into his works?
Where does the motivation lie for the buyer of modern art - in the image that he emanates just because he possesses a work that is "in", or in the yield derived from an investment, or perhaps in the good quality of the work?
What is it that counts in the artistic coordinate system - content and style, or apelike behaviour and the dissemination of absurd theories?
How much does Conceptual Art have to do with real life or with the aspirations of mankind?
Where does the advantage lie in the viewing of pictures when it is accompanied by the whirring of the fan of the beamer?
Am I one of those individuals who have to hang calculated art on the exposed concrete walls of their houses in Palm Springs?
Is it of any significance at all, how an artist looks?
