Carl Andre (1935 - )

Carl Andre, Equivalent VIII, 1966

Carl Andre, Equivalents I-VIII, installation at Tibor de Nagy, NYC, 1966

My arrangements I’ve found are essentially the simplest I can arrive at, given a material and a place... The one thing I learned in my work is that to make the work I wanted you couldn’t impose properties on the materials. You have to reveal the properties of the material.
Carl Andre (leaflet, 1978) in Biggs, Lewis et al eds. (1989) Minimalism, Liverpool: Tate Gallery Liverpool, p12
