“When I visit places remote from where I ordinarily work, people ask me long, elaborate questions that could not possibly have any relationship to my work. The people haven't ever seen it, and so I say: 'But my dear sir, have you ever seen my work?' The response is: 'Of course, I've seen many of your works.' - 'But where?' - 'In Artforum, Art in America..' - I say: 'Have you ever actually seen one of the objects, have you actually stood on one of them?”

Carl Andre (1935) American artist
