You may be combining two quotes, one by Frank Zappa and the other by Clifford Stoll.
Frank Zappa is attributed with saying:
"Remember, information is not knowledge; knowledge is not wisdom; wisdom is not truth; truth is not beauty; beauty is not love; love is not music; music is the best." ---Frank Zappa
There is a similar quote from Clifford Stoll:
"Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom." ---Clifford Stoll
Clifford Stoll is a well-known astronomer and professor at Berkeley, although I am not sure if he is still there. He sells fantastic Klein bottles: http://www.kleinbottle.com/

That was my first guess, but the art clause is nowhere between them. The quote shows up in a lone usenet post, and also in a comment board where it's attributed to Zappa.
