I'm not at all sure that the concept of the readymade isn't the most important single idea to come out of my work.

Since the tubes of paint used by the artist are manufactured and ready made products we must conclude that all the paintings in the world are 'readymades aided' and also works of assemblage.

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

To all appearances the artist acts like a mediumistic being who, from the labyrinth beyond time and space, seeks his way out to a clearing. If we give the attributes of a medium to the artist, we must then deny him the state of consciousness on the aesthetic plane about what he is doing or why he is doing it. All this decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis, spoken or written, or even thought out.

Do unto others as they wish, but with imagination.

It's not what you see that is art. Art is the gap.

Anything is art if an artist says it is.
