Duchamp is known for calling a thing art, rather than making it. A lot of that is picked up in pop art, too.

If I didn't think what I was doing had something to do with enlarging the boundaries of art, I wouldn't go on doing it.

I went back to the Art Institute, then spent the summer at the Ox-Bow School in Saugatuck, Michigan. That's what really awakened me. I made a lot of oil paintings and my first performance.

I'm in favor of an art that does something other than just sit on its ass in a museum.

My rule was not to paint things as they were. I wasn't copying; I was remaking them as my own.

All the fun is locking horns with impossibilities.

For a thorough use of ice cream cones, buy two; eat one and drop the other.
