Carl Andre
Image
An artist, to achieve anything in art, has to finally do the thing that nobody else wants to do and nobody else has thought to do.
Carl Andre
Image
Money is a very complicated problem. The history of money is very curious.
Carl Andre
Image
I had no place to put anything. I would give my sculpture away because I had no place to put it.
Carl Andre
Image
When I came to New York, it was cheap!
Carl Andre
Image
That's wonderful, but my mind has been destroyed by alcohol.
