Art and Ideology
New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, 1983
“It is understood by now that all art is ideological and all art is used politically by the right or the left, with the conscious and unconscious assent of the artist. There is no neutral zone. Artists who remain stubbornly uninformed about the social and emotional effects of their images and their connections to other images outside the art context are most easily manipulated by the prevailing systems of distribution, interpretation, and marketing." - Lucy R. Lippard, Art and Ideology catalogue
