‘It was a dark night and there were no lights [...] or anything at all except the dark pavement moving through the landscape of the flats, rimmed by hills in the distance [...] The drive was a revealing experience. The road and much of the landscape was artificial, and yet it couldn’t be called a work of art. On the other hand it did something for me that art had never done [...] its effect was to liberate me from many of the views I had had about art [...] There is no way you can frame it, you just have to experience it.’
Artist Tony Smith’s account of a nocturnal car ride on the unfinished New Jersey Turnpike quoted by Michael Fried in Art and Objecthood, first published in Artforum in 1967.
