About the interview
This interview shows a lucid reflection on contemporary art in the 1970s.
The main takeaways include:
- art as an attitude or idea rather than a mere object;
- the central role of ego and strategy in an artist's career;
- the relativity of the avant-garde: what is revolutionary can quickly become institutionalized;
- the art world functions as a social system (networks, critics, galleries).
