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

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.

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.

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

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

Irrational judgements lead to new experience.
