Some Really Crass Shit

“We just spent a fortune doing additions on this fabulous house, it’s huge and beautiful and kind of like we have all these empty spaces. . . . We had our art consultant come two different times. . . . When it comes to artwork, I don’t know that I know the value. Are you buying it for enjoyment, or are you buying it for investment? If you buy some Yves Saint Laurent or Halston, you know that you are getting value.”
