Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Louis Kahan
Everyman’s Infinite Art (1966) Harold Gregor This installation of readymade objects in specific arrangements was Harold Gregor’s response to the advent and popularization of minimalism. The subject matter is the de-skilling of art, and the tension between text-based descriptions and the experience of seeing artworks in person. Gregor’s work, in its use of space, industrial materials, and general attitude of de-skilling seems prescient, given developments in sculpture since 1966.
