1 Rachel Whiteread
I make all this stuff in the studio, but I also work on these white
elephants - like House or Untitled Monument
- things that are incredibly ambitious,
take an awful long time to do, involve a
lot of controversy, an awful lot of people, and don't make any money particularly,
but it's just because I need to make them.
3 Joseph Kosuth
The 'value' of particular artists after Duchamp
can be weighed according to
how much they questioned the
nature of art.
5 Tracey Emin
Thinking about the narcissism behind what I do - the self,
self, self - and how difficult it is
for me to really share things, even though
I think I am sharing all
the time.
7 Cornelia Parker
Capitalism compels us to
work ourselves to death in order to stuff our houses
with things we don't need.
Perhaps this is one thing art can do: create a new
aesethetic, one of austerity.
9 The Chapman Brothers
Don't expect honesty from artists at any
time. Massive delicate egos and a myopic view of reality
don't make for any kind of study. Artists
aren't that special.
11 Martin Creed
I don't know what art is.
13 Anish Kapoor
One does not set out with the
idea that I've just had a great
idea and now I'm going to go and carry it out.
Almost all art that's made like that doesn't go
anywhere.
15 Michael Craig-Martin
It's about the way everything's bombarding
us for our attention. They're about here
and now - the moment you're looking at them.
I use colours that are sometimes referred to as eye-candy, as
though they were simply there to be seductive. But then other people
describe me as a conceptualist. What
really interestes me is the combination of the two. The contradiction.
17 Damien Hirst
It was like gold because
it was me, but, really,
it's shit.
