Birth: October 18, 1931
I think Michael Heizer and Walter De Maria had a love-hate relationship because they both had a lot in common. But inevitably one would get more publ….
There's a definite connection in terms of objects at hand - dealing with objects or material at hand. Pop art was very much enamored with popular ima….
The gallery closed its doors in 1971. I could no longer psychologically handle the needs of 12 artists. I cared about all of them, and what was happe….
I enjoyed cross-country road trips. And I found the work challenging because it was art that existed on the land rather than mere concepts in a galle….
What's happening in the larger world always influences art. When I first started the gallery in 1959, one of the first things I learned was that most….

I opened with Edward Kienholz's The Beanery, and that's such a controversial piece that I think that brought people right away. It was a room-size wo….
I remember very vividly. I was here in New York. Nancy Holt called me and - I feel unhappy thinking about it - she said that Bob Smithson had died. I….
