Information

Possibly considered one of the founders of minimalist art, Carl Andre creates formally simple sculptures that occupy floor space. He chooses to work in traditional media of wood and metal, and would later branch out to use plastics and concrete. His works range from large outdoor sculptures to smaller, intimate indoor installations, which took the form of grids and tile patterns that were displayed as flat works on the ground. After serving in the U.S. army in the 1950s, he moved to NYC and shared a studio space with Frank Stella, another notable minimalist artist.
