Artist, Film Maker & "Painters Painting"
"I was probably the only film maker in the world who could [have made Painters Painting] because I knew all those people, from the time they were poor, and unsuccessful and had no money. I knew Warhol and Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns and Stella before they ever sold a painting, and so it was interesting to [do the film about them]. They appeared in the film along with de Kooning, whom I knew very well, and Barnett Newman, who is now dead. They talked to me in a way that they would never have talked to anybody else because they knew I knew the subject"
