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.

More quotes by Carl Andre
I think my work is very American because I'm American. But I found that Europeans like uncertainty and doubt.
Carl Andre
I've never been a representational artist at all. Most artists have been representational. That's when you discover yourself.
Carl Andre
Lenin thought abstract art was a conspiracy by the bourgeois to demoralize the proletariat. Yeah, socialist realism!
Carl Andre
By nature, I am a materialist... It is exactly these impingements upon our sense of touch and so forth that I'm interested in.
Carl Andre
New York is dead. It's too expensive.
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
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
Americans understand better than the Europeans and the English that any publicity is good.
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
I'm a feminist. I've always been in favor of women.
Carl Andre
My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there.
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
My art will reflect not necessarily conscious politics but the unanalysed politics of my life.
Carl Andre
Art is the exclusion of the unnecessary.
Carl Andre
If you forge a Carl Andre, it's just another Carl Andre. It's not like a Vermeer.
Carl Andre
Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.
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
We don't have a single point of view for a road at all, except a moving one, moving along it.
Carl Andre
Art is an intersection of many human needs.
Carl Andre
When I came to New York, it was cheap!
Carl Andre
