Carl Andre

Carl Andre is an American minimalist artist known for his sculptural works made from industrial materials like metal, wood, and brick. He emphasizes simplicity and the relationship between objects and space, often arranging raw materials directly on the floor to highlight their form and material. His style challenges traditional notions of sculpture by avoiding intricate craftsmanship or narrative, focusing instead on conceptual clarity and physical presence. Andre’s work has influenced contemporary art by exploring ideas of perception, environment, and the relationship between art and everyday materials.
