The artist is seen like a producer of commodities, like a factory that turns out refrigerators.

All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art.

Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus.

I wasn't really that interested in objects. I was interested in ideas.

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.

The artist’s aim is not to instruct the viewer, but to give information, whether the viewer understands the information is incidental to the artist.

The thinking of John Cage derived from Duchamp and Dada. I was not interested in that.
