Lawrence Weiner (born February 10, 1942) was one of the central figures of conceptual art. He was born in the Bronx, New York. Weiner's early work included experiments with shaped canvas, and cutting out squares from carpeting or walls. In 1968, when Sol LeWitt came up with his Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, Weiner formulated his famous Declaration of Intent (1968): "1. The artist may construct the piece. 2. The piece may be fabricated. 3. The piece need not built. <a href="https://www.last.fm/

Quotes

• “I do not mind objects, but I do not care to make them.”
• “1. The artist may construct the piece.”
• “... the fact is, they are sculptures, since they show the relationship of object to object and that is the idea and purpose of a sculpture. I’ve got nothing against ‘poetry,’ but it’s only resonance and tempo. Each of my works is perhaps also indeed a poetic sculpture. It’s not that I think it’s a bad word, poetry, but I’m not a poet, since a poet is concerned with the relationship of human beings to human beings.”
• “Once you know about a work of mine you own it. There's no way I can climb inside somebody's head and remove it.”
• “What makes art interesting is the fact that anyone can realize it as soon as the idea has been formulated. That’s the point.”
