Amy-isms for the New Era at Sotheby’s

April 20, 2016 by Marion Maneker

Amy Cappellazzo

Amy Cappellazzo spoke to New York Magazine:

  • Never shy: “I was surprised to discover the thing I’m really good at: calling the market and risk assessment. Pricing a work of art, understanding its value, is an extremely proprietary skill.”
  • The idea of art as a reserve currency: “I’m an expert in an esoteric asset class that happens to be an excellent reservoir of value. Some days I think I’m in the alternative currency business.”
  • Channeling Yogi Berra through Gerhard Richter’s abstracts: “If you find one that appeals to you, you’d have to be dead not to like it.”
  • On Tauba Auerbach: “A young artist is like a young athlete—it’s easier to be young than old because the marketplace likes newness.”
  • On Yayoi Kusama: “She’s since collaborated with Louis Vuitton on handbags. That is more of a design exercise than an art exercise—but it increases her brand recognition.”
