- I
don't listen to what art critics say. I don't
know anybody who needs a critic to find out what
art is.

essence of Modernism lies, as I see it, in the

to criticize the discipline itself, not in order
to subvert it but in order to entrench it more
firmly in its area of competence.

criticism, I would say, is about the most ungrateful
form of "elevated" writing I know of.

- Duchamp
is a hugely overrated artist. Duchamp was the
first artist who really became a great master

first modernist artist to do it.

- I
am often viewed as a "conservative"
critic. On the other hand, what does "conservative"
and what does "radical" mean in today's
context? As far as I can make up, when an artist
says that I am conservative, it means that I haven't
praised him recently.
