and remains yet triumphant

"I am for an art that helps old ladies across the street."
...
"I am for the art of underwear and the art of taxicabs. I am for the art of ice-cream cones dropped on concrete. I am for the majestic art of dog-turds, rising like cathedrals."
...
Ich bin für eine Kunst, die sich auf den alltäglichen Mist einläßt und doch siegreich bleibt"
/I am for an art, that admits itself on the daily manure and remains yet triumphant

Claes Oldenburg, '61
