Quote #13: Representations in contemporary American art

"One of the funniest experiences I had when I began working the art world is that people always assumed I worked for Thelma Golden, not that I was Thelma Golden. The kind of dismissal that comes from just people's sense that they don't imagine you are who you are actually has been one of the most powerful and liberating things for me in my work." — Thelma Golden, Executive Director and Chief Curator, The Studio Museum in Harlem
