...This leads to the idea that whatever an artist calls art, it is art, and that art is the definition of art.

…そのことは実は,美術思想の面では,近代美術思想の極限化が1960年代に起こっていったことと相即不離の関係にあるといえる。そして,60年代後半にミニマル・アートとコンセプチュアル・アート(概念芸術)によって頂点に達するこの極限化(〈芸術といえばそれが芸術なのだ〉というコスースJoseph Kosuthの有名な言葉に象徴される)こそ,見方を変えれば現代美術思想への転換とその開始を告げていると言える。 美術における現代を考える場合には,このように様式面とともに,というよりもそれ以上に,価値概念の側面を正しく見きわめなければならない。…
