Quotes by Martin Kippenberger

• Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.
• A good artist has less time than ideas.
• Entertainment and art are not isolated.
• I can't cut off an ear everyday. Do the Van Gogh here and the Mozart there. Anyway it's exhausting enough always having to check up on what one is really doing!.
• I'm not interested in provoking people, but only in trying to be consoling.
• My style is where you see the individual and where a personality is communicated through actions, decisions, single objects and facts, where the whole draws together to form a history.
• What I'm working on is for people to be able to say that Kippenberger had this really good mood.
• What people will say about me then - or maybe not say - will be the only thing that finally counts.
• You really can't bring about anything new with art.
• Assuming roles is something that simply won't work for me, since I don't have a style. None at all.
• Nobody helps anybody.
