Carl Andre

Carl Andre is an American minimalist artist known for his sculptural works made of industrial materials such as metal plates, bricks, and concrete blocks. He was a key figure in the Minimalist art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which emphasized the use of simplified forms and materials.

In the 1960s, Andre began creating his signature floor sculptures, which consisted of standardized units of metal, wood, or other materials arranged in simple geometric patterns directly on the ground. His work was often controversial, as many critics saw it as overly simplistic or even nihilistic. However, Andre's sculptures were also celebrated for their understated beauty and their ability to challenge traditional notions of art and sculpture.

Throughout his career, Andre has exhibited his work in major museums and galleries around the world. Andre continues to live and work in New York City, where he remains an influential figure in the art world.
