Sol LeWitt

“Unless you're involved with thinking about what you're doing, you end up doing the same thing over and over, and that becomes tedious and, in the end, defeating.”

“Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus.”

“All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art.”

“The other great development has been in photography, but that too was influenced by Conceptual art.”

“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.”

“The thinking of John Cage derived from Duchamp and Dada. I was not interested in that.”
