Sol LeWitt

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

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

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

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

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