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.

More quotes by Carl Andre
Americans understand better than the Europeans and the English that any publicity is good.
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
When I came to New York, it was cheap!
Carl Andre
I've never been a representational artist at all. Most artists have been representational. That's when you discover yourself.
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
Money is a very complicated problem. The history of money is very curious.
Carl Andre
My art will reflect not necessarily conscious politics but the unanalysed politics of my life.
Carl Andre
I believe that woman are superior to men.
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
Isn't it wonderful to be an artist whose works have mostly been lost?
Carl Andre
I mean, art for art's sake is ridiculous. Art is for the sake of one's needs.
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
Matter as matter rather than matter as symbol is a conscious political position, essentially Marxist.
Carl Andre
I think my work is very American because I'm American. But I found that Europeans like uncertainty and doubt.
Carl Andre
New York is dead. It's too expensive.
Carl Andre
Art is the exclusion of the unnecessary.
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
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
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
