You shouldn’t be a prisoner of your own ideas.

You shouldn't be a prisoner of your own ideas.

Just as the development of earth art and installation art stemmed from the idea of taking art out of the galleries, the basis of my involvement with public art is a continuation of wall drawings.

Minimalism wasn't a real idea - it ended before it started.

I was not interested in irony; I wanted to emphasize the primacy of the idea in making art

Conceptual art is only good if the idea is good.

What the work of art looks like isn't too important. It has to look like something if it has a physical form. No matter what form it may finally have it must begin with an idea. It is the process of conception and realization with which the artist is concerned.

I wasn't really that interested in objects. I was interested in ideas.

The idea part is simple but the visual perception is complex.
