I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art

The other great development has been in photography, but that too was influenced by Conceptual art.

I didn't want to save art - I respected the older artists too much to think art needed saving. But I knew it was finished, even though, at that time, I didn't know what I would do.

Formal art is essentially rational.

An architect doesn't go off with a shovel and dig his foundation and lay every brick. He's still an artist.

I believe that the artist's involvement in the capitalist structure is disadvantageous to the artist and forces him to produce objects in order to live.

When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.
