A blind man can make art if what is in his mind can be passed to another mind in some tangible form.

New materials are one of the great afflictions of contemporary art. Some artists confuse new materials with new ideas.

Artists teach critics what to think. Critics repeat what the artists teach them.

Ideas alone can be works of art; they are in a chain of development that may eventually find some form. All ideas need not be made physical.

Most ideas that are successful are ludicrously simple. Successful ideas generally have the appearance of simplicity because they seem inevitable. In terms of idea the artist is free to even surprise himself. Ideas are discovered by intuition.

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.
