Hopps

677
Although this quotation is widely attributed to Hopps, he presented it as the quote of a friend, during a 2005 talk at the Santa Monica Museum of Art: “A poet friend of mine, a UCLA student from the first Syndell Studio that we had, once said, ‘Art is the possibility of love with strangers.’” The poet’s identity is not known, but it should be noted that Hopps variously attributed the names of his two original galleries, Syndell and Ferus, to deceased people in his past. My impression is that he liked to bury his creations in stories about others.
