Carl Andre (born 1935) stands alongside Sol LeWitt and Donald Judd as a founding father of American Minimalism. Since the early 1960s, he has transformed the popular understanding of sculpture, opening up the works to public interaction and everyday experience. This catalogue is the first comprehensive publication on Andre since 1996, and therefore provides the most complete overview to date.
Carl Andre
by
Carl Andre (Artist); Alistair Rider
Carl Andre (born 1935) is among the foremost exponents of minimalism. Although best known for his grid-based floor sculptures, his output is diverse, encompassing large, outdoor public artworks and small sculptures, poetry and installations. Rider explores the full range of Andre's ideas and materials extending from his controversial configurations of bricks to numerous metals, wood and even hay bales. Rider shows how Andre, fascinated by the raw materiality of things in the everyday world, transforms them into sites of contemplation and aethetic focus.

Carl Andre is one of the most significant and influential artists of his generation. Alongside contemporaries such as Robert Morris and Donald Judd, his radically minimalist sculpture and poetry has fundamentally shifted the definitions and boundaries of art. Spanning four decades, this book charts the gradual evolution of consensus about the meaning of his art. The most significant essays and exhibition reviews have been collated into one volume.
