I am for the art of underwear and the art of taxicabs. I am for the art of ice cream cones dropped on concrete.

Because my work is naturally non-meaningful, the meaning found in it will remain doubtful and inconsistent - which is the way it should be. All that I care about is that, like any startling piece of nature, it should be capable of stimulating meaning.

Art is a technique of communication. The image is the most complete technique of all communication.

My work doesn't have the same rules as, say, Andy [Warhol]'s work. But it's gathered together for the simple reason that we all worked with the images and objects around us.

Everything I do is completely original-I made it up when I was a kid.

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