How to connect with contemporary art

1.    Educate your eye, then trust your gut.
2.   Want to be challenged, not seduced.
3.    The words about the art are not as important as the art.
4.    Trust the art that infects you.
5.    Envy is a good sign.
6.    The critic's head may not be as smart as your gut.
7.    Being "pretty" is never good enough.
8.    Don't be afraid to expect a lot of the art.
9.    Expect that you have to do some work too.
10.  Expect it to be  not just about now, but about from now on.
