MTAA general note on the artwork Infinite Phil ; )
posted at 16:36 GMT by M.River in /news/mriver
From the Gaurdian (thanks to Murph)
Pressed on whether he stole ideas from others, Cattelan replied: “Was Warhol robbing Marilyn [Monroe’s] identity when he painted her? And what was Cézanne doing? Robbing apples? In art, all you can do in the end is appropriate that which surrounds you. So it is never a robbery. At the most it is a loan. Unlike thieves, artists always give back the stolen goods.”
