Desire Art World

My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there.

Other quotes by Carl Andre

Art

I mean, art for art's sake is ridiculous. Art is for the sake of one's needs.

- Carl Andre

Time

- Carl Andre

Symbol

Matter as matter rather than matter as symbol is a conscious political position, essentially Marxist.

- Carl Andre

Environment

A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous.

- Carl Andre

Work Time Life

Every time you work, you have to do it all over again, to rid yourself of this dross. I suppose for a person who is not an artist or not attempting art, it is not dross, because it is the common exchange of everyday life.

- Carl Andre

Art Life Will

My art will reflect not necessarily conscious politics but the unanalysed politics of my life.

- Carl Andre
