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

You shouldn't be a prisoner of your own ideas.

During the '70s I was interested in words and meaning as a way of making art.

Artists of many diverse types began using simple forms to their own ends.

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.

Artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach.

[The artist's aim is] not to instruct the viewer, but to give him information... . The artist would follow his predetermined premise to its conclusion, avoiding subjectivity. Chance, taste, or unconsciously remembered forms would play no part in the outcome. The serial artist does not attempt to produce a beautiful or mysterious object but functions merely as a clerk cataloguing the results of his premise.
