Today, in British education, we don't have that kind of freedom. Now there are many regulations, many rules, and bureaucracies in the education system. So, it doesn't have the flexibility that it had in the '60s, '70s, '80s.

More quotes by Michael Craig-Martin
I am personally happy for artists to make as much money as they can while they can to carry them through the times when they can't.
Michael Craig-Martin
The viewer brings all additional information to the image.
Michael Craig-Martin
The art world, of all worlds, has room for everyone.
Michael Craig-Martin
Often people do not properly value things that they are good at naturally because they find them too easy. That is very problematic.
Michael Craig-Martin
In Britain the power of authority was weakened. There was much more individual freedom and there was great academic freedom.
Michael Craig-Martin
I look at the character of the exhibition and I treat it as I would a painting or an installation. When I did the Summer Exhibition at Royal Academy, I did it exactly as I would when making a new work.
Michael Craig-Martin
I have never understood, for instance, why some people see contemporary art as divided between 'painting' and 'conceptual art', as though this represented a genuine division.
Michael Craig-Martin
If you were really interested in being creative in teaching, it was possible to try new methods and that was really what we did in Goldsmiths - we used the freedom of the time.
Michael Craig-Martin
For many years I hoped to have an exhibition in China, because of my family connection.
Michael Craig-Martin
In the studio, it took me a long time to work out how to make paintings that had the intensity that I was able to create by painting whole rooms. There is a very limited number of colours but there are many variations. I decided to use the purest palette that I could.
Michael Craig-Martin
As an artist you are free to use any image, any style, any idea from any culture and any period of history.
Michael Craig-Martin
There is no doubt when one comes from the West to China one understands pop art as having originally developed as part of Western tradition. There is a historical development, in which things find resonance in different places.
Michael Craig-Martin
All the basic information should be in the object itself.
Michael Craig-Martin
I was poorer than anyone I'd ever met. But it was a great time to be a young artist - I remember it as a period of exceptional creative freedom and adventure, when one was regularly presented with works of art unlike anything one had ever seen before.
Michael Craig-Martin
Usually when I go to the Summer Exhibition, I think every room is too much the same, and I loose my capacity to look at individual works.
Michael Craig-Martin
I would never put a sculpture in front of a painting, so that it is difficult to see the painting. I always place each thing so you can see it isolated. You can focus on every individual work.
Michael Craig-Martin
There is a complete difference between art and the art market. Prices are high now for the simple reason that there are people are willing to pay them. The market dominates the art world today because at the moment collectors call the shots. Like everything else that won't last forever.
Michael Craig-Martin
Art is more to do with observation than invention.
Michael Craig-Martin
You can take things from the past, from the culture, from the immediate past and things that have not yet entered the culture, so they have no history yet. You can create your own context.
Michael Craig-Martin
I think from an artist's point of view, everything in art, in fact everything in the world is available as material.
