Carl Andre was born in 1935, Quincy, Massachusetts, U.S.A. and died in 2024 in New York.
Carl Andre is an American sculptor associated with Minimalism. He is known for abstract work made of repetitive blocks, bricks, and metal plates arranged directly on the floor.
Like other Minimalists of his generation, Andre constructed his works out of industrial materials that called attention to the inherent physical structure of the piece and to the architecture of the surrounding space. Eschewing metaphor and symbolism, Andre's work operates as a set of purely physical and perceptual concerns.
Carl Andre also produced a vast body of poetic and literary work, using words for their semantic, phonetic and visual significance.
The apparent simplicity of his works challenges traditional notions of technique, composition and installation.
