A simple box is really a complicated thing. - Donald Judd

The history of art and art’s condition at any time are pretty messy. They should stay that way. One can think about them as much as one likes, but they won’t become neater; neatness isn’t even a very good reason for thinking about them. A lot of things just can’t be connected.

Society is basically not interested in art. Art has a purpose of its own.

The main qualifications to the lesser position of painting is that advances in art are certainly not always formal ones.
