More quotes by Carl Andre
Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.
Carl Andre
The world is imperfect, and young people are always trying to perfect it and they always fail - which is a good thing. Who'd want to live in a perfect world?
Carl Andre
New York is dead. It's too expensive.
Carl Andre
SoHo was called Hell's Hundred Acres because it was full of sweatshops - without fire escapes. Completely not up to code. Every once in a while, these buildings would burn and 26 Puerto Ricans would be killed.
Carl Andre
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
That's wonderful, but my mind has been destroyed by alcohol.
Carl Andre
If you forge a Carl Andre, it's just another Carl Andre. It's not like a Vermeer.
Carl Andre
I never drove a car in my life. Given my drinking habits in those days, I would have been dead a long time ago - stumbling out of a bar at 4 a.m. and getting into a car.
Carl Andre
Americans understand better than the Europeans and the English that any publicity is good.
Carl Andre
Art is the exclusion of the unnecessary.
Carl Andre
I'm a feminist. I've always been in favor of women.
Carl Andre
Money is a very complicated problem. The history of money is very curious.
Carl Andre
It seems with progress you gain certain things and you lose certain things. The automobile replaced the horse and buggy but you lost all of that nice manure.
Carl Andre
A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous.
Carl Andre
I'm afraid we get a great deal of our exposure to art through magazines and through slides and I think this is dreadful, this is anti-art because art is direct experience with something in the world and photography is just a rumor, a kind of pornography of art.
Carl Andre
Look at the chaos of European history. Europeans cannot believe in certainty. But Americans believe in certainty. Americans think this can go on like this forever. Just as it is. No change.
Carl Andre
Isn't it wonderful to be an artist whose works have mostly been lost?
Carl Andre
When I came to New York, it was cheap!
Carl Andre
I believe that woman are superior to men.
Carl Andre
I grew up in a brick house. What's wrong with bricks? An Englishman took me aside and said, You have to understand, all the bricklayers in England are Irish, and the English hate the Irish.
Carl Andre
