Carl Andre is one of the key figures of minimalism. He is widely recognized for his grid-based floor sculptures, outdoor public works and concrete poetry. Throughout his work, he seeks to eliminate anything decorative or extraneous. As a sculptor, he neither carves nor models but simply focuses on sorting and placing. His work came to redefine the very nature of sculpture for many younger artists.
