My problem with political art is not that it's bad art necessarily, but that it is terrible politics.

Photography is the art of anticipation, not working with memories, but showing their formation. As such, it has relentlessly usurped imaginative and critical prerogatives of older, slower literature and handmade visual art.

Smithson was someone of tremendous significance whose work was not beautiful at all. I think he was an iconoclast.

You don't need everybody to agree with you, but you do need a few people. And by this point I have a fairly high degree of confidence in my judgment, in that I don't doubt my sanity; or, even if I do, I don't have to be reassured.

Black and white can show how something is. Color adds how it is, imbued with temperatures and humidities of experience.

It's my duty to sell the ideas. But there's always a question when it comes to beauty.

With art criticism it's difficult to discuss beauty, to assess it, because there's always the possibility that we're insane.
