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
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
If you forge a Carl Andre, it's just another Carl Andre. It's not like a Vermeer.
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
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 believe that woman are superior to men.
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 the exclusion of the unnecessary.

Carl Andre
I'm a feminist. I've always been in favor of women.
Carl Andre
I didn't study the piano - the piano studied me.
Carl Andre
When I came to New York, it was cheap!
Carl Andre
Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.
Carl Andre
My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there.
Carl Andre
My art will reflect not necessarily conscious politics but the unanalysed politics of my life.
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
Art is an intersection of many human needs.
Carl Andre
New York is dead. It's too expensive.
Carl Andre
Matter as matter rather than matter as symbol is a conscious political position, essentially Marxist.
Carl Andre
