Carl Andre
New York is dead. It's too expensive.
Carl Andre

Carl Andre

Carl Andre

Carl Andre
Matter as matter rather than matter as symbol is a conscious political position, essentially Marxist.
Carl Andre
I didn't study the piano - the piano studied me.
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
I never stopped doing what I did as a child.
Carl Andre
