The other great development has been in photography, but that too was influenced by Conceptual art.
Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus.
Artists teach critics what to think. Critics repeat what the artists teach them.
When artists make art, they shouldn't question whether it is permissible to do one thing or another.
During the '70s I was interested in words and meaning as a way of making art.
I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art.
