"The one essential thing: it cannot follow the market. Nor should it try actively to influence the market. It has to have its own point of view. It has to be honest. After that, clarity of writing, purity of design." When asked what makes a good magazine.
"A critic is a detective. You look at all this and you just try to make it mean something... It's a matter of trying to create meaning in these things in the world around you and giving art a place where it can resonate."
Guarino about contemporary art: "ninety-five percent of it cannot be taken seriously... I'm like the atheist priest who understands the salutary effect of religion"
"...If you start supporting artist who don't deserve it on in a manner that seems like overkill, you will drive your readers away and undermine your own credibility...There's some art that we jut don't touch..I have no idea why it sells or why people care"
Schjeldhal "To be a good [art] critic, you have to be able to make a new enemy every week and never run out of people to be your friend"
