" Conceptual art," wrote Sol LeWitt in 1968, " is good only when the idea is good."

"If the art were better, one might forgive the witless public posturing of its ardent practitioners, the endless feuds over who did what first, the moral ambiguity that exists between the stated purpose of this political activity and the willingness of its artists to allow their "work" to be circused in lavish museum spectacles."

"a cultural mugging"

Sol LeWitt
born 1928
