More quotes by 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
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
I think my work is very American because I'm American. But I found that Europeans like uncertainty and doubt.
Carl Andre

Carl Andre

Carl Andre
Money is a very complicated problem. The history of money is very curious.
Carl Andre

Carl Andre
My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there.
Carl Andre
Art is the exclusion of the unnecessary.
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
I believe that woman are superior to men.
Carl Andre
That's wonderful, but my mind has been destroyed by alcohol.
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
I never stopped doing what I did as a child.
Carl Andre
I didn't study the piano - the piano studied me.
Carl Andre
You can always find somebody to beat up. This goes back to the schoolyard. Most men would think, Don't chum with girls. But I chummed with girls.
Carl Andre
