More quotes by Carl Andre
I believe that woman are superior to men.
Carl Andre
I was one of the first post-studio artists. I used to do my works in the streets. I used to find them in the streets, and I used to leave them in the streets.
Carl Andre
New York is dead. It's too expensive.
Carl Andre
I never stopped doing what I did as a child.
Carl Andre
Matter as matter rather than matter as symbol is a conscious political position, essentially Marxist.
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

Carl Andre
Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.
Carl Andre

Carl Andre
Art is an intersection of many human needs.

Carl Andre

Carl Andre
If you forge a Carl Andre, it's just another Carl Andre. It's not like a Vermeer.
Carl Andre
I think my work is very American because I'm American. But I found that Europeans like uncertainty and doubt.
Carl Andre
Americans understand better than the Europeans and the English that any publicity is good.
Carl Andre
I had no place to put anything. I would give my sculpture away because I had no place to put it.
Carl Andre
Lenin thought abstract art was a conspiracy by the bourgeois to demoralize the proletariat. Yeah, socialist realism!
Carl Andre
Money is a very complicated problem. The history of money is very curious.
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
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
