. Featuring Christo, John Cage, Lee Krasner, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Louise Bourgeois, Tom Wesselmann, James Rosenquist, and Marisol,from some of the most luminous artists of the era. Here, Stein shares his memories of these iconic encounters, along with the wisdom those artists offered him for the book.Harvey Stein: “Keith was young, fun, and easy to get along with. I photographed him in a gallery, where he was showing a lot of work.

Keith Haring: “I’m always working and drawing; there’s nothing else to do. It’s just what I can do, so I do it. And that’s one big advantage of being an artist instead of an actor or a writer or an athlete; I really don’t have to depend on anybody. I don’t even need a pencil; I can draw with any finger in dust, I can draw with a stick in the sand.”Harvey Stein: “Hannah was very intelligent and beautiful. I think her process was daring and she took a lot of risks. We became friends.

Hannah Wilke: “It’s hard making art. It’s boring sometimes; it hurts my eyes. I can’t figure out whether my finger is stiff from arthritis or from drawing. Possibly I’m drawing with a nervousness in my pinkie. It might just be from drawing, but it is hurting me. That delicate drawing takes so much energy. To be calm and cool and collected, to be able to sit down and do those drawings, I almost have to wipe out my mind. I have to lose my mind to be able to concentrate.

Robert Rauschenberg: “When I started out as an artist, I did not think I would be successful. I still don’t think I am. I work for myself. The other thing is fickle; all this success could fall apart overnight. I don’t think it would bother me if it did, but I’m not sure….Thank God that fame doesn’t help me make the art. It would get in the way if I started to believe I was a good artist. Then I would have to make good art.”Harvey Stein: “It took me three years to get to Andy.
