"with a liking for acid house and hip-hop"
"Avignon isn't interested in people who spend a lot of money to enjoy
art at home and who at the same time ignore what he calls 'his generation':
those around 26 years old and with a liking for acid house and hip-hop,
break beat and ambient music."

"Whoever is really good is also successful"
"In the end Jim Avignon too can't escape the laws of nature. And
they say that whoever is really good is also successful and so commands
a correspondingly high price. No matter how cheaply he sells his pictures.
That's the case with exceptions. Whether they like it or not."

"Sponsorship from the masses"
"In Frankfurt he is currently showing 700 of his works, which call
to mind futuristic cave paintings and which he is selling at 15 marks each.
Avignon's message to the art business: sponsorship from the masses."
