I do make some drawings for wall pieces. I do work out some ideas for large-scale wall pieces where I have to organize words or get proportions right. I do keep them in my files. Not an exhibit or a show; just as part of my records, my archives.
Robert BarryI have been in competitions for commissions. I've won most and lost some. Mostly, I've won.
Robert BarryI try not to manipulate reality... What will happen, will happen. Let things be themselves.
Robert BarryI'm not a person - and my wife also - we don't really go to the beach or anything like that. We go to cities.
Robert BarryI am good in the fact that most of my reviews have been very positive really. I get pretty good reviews. There have been some that aren't - critical. I think they are extremely - the people that wrote them really don't understand what they are looking at quite frankly or have a very preconceived notion of what conceptual art should be or where I am at or the fact that I may change what I have done from what I did 20 years ago. But there is always some reason that they just sort of get it wrong. And so it certainly doesn't affect my work.
