Critics
''It is the critic’s duty to prick the balloon of vanity. Art criticism is a poor thing is this country, and critics are often no more than a parasitic or symbiotic element in a relationship with the Arts Council, the Establishment, or the market, all of which use critics but do not respect them, for they are the tools of the exposure and advertising necessary for commercial success. I try to stand apart.''
Evening Standard, 1991
