All the fun is locking horns with impossibilities.

I am for an art of things lost or thrown away. . . I am for an art that one smokes like a cigarette. . . I am for an art that flutters like a flag.

The thing about the ray gun is, you pick up anything you see on the street that's the shape of a gun.

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.

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

I'm always careful to say that I changed everything I found.

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