Карл Андре — американский художник, представитель минимализма. Характерные черты скульптуры Андре — использование промышленных материалов, модульных единиц, артикуляция трёхмерности посредством рассмотрения негативного и позитивного пространства. Андре стремился свести словарь скульптуры к базовым фонемам, таким как квадраты, кубы, линии и диаграммы. В исследовании формы структуры и пространства Андре делал акцент на отношения места и зрителя. Его композиции лежат где-то между бытием идей и тестированием границ физического присутствия.

“The course of development”

short quotes of Carl Andre, in 'Artforum 1966'; as quoted in Minimal Art: A Critical Anthology by Gregory Battcock, University of California Press, 1995, p. 103

“Well sure, my sculptures are floor pieces. Each one, like any area on the surface of the earth, supports a column of air that weighs – what is it?”

14.7 pounds per square inch. So in a sense, that might represent a column. It's not an idea, it's a sense of something you know, a demarked place. Somehow I think I always thought of it going that way, rather than an idea of a narrowing triangle going to the center of the earth.. .I have nothing to do with Conceptual art [in contrast to his Physical Art, as Carl Andre called his sculpture art already in 1969]]. I'm not interested in ideas. If I were interested in ideas, I'd be in a field where what we think in is ideas.. .I don't really know what an idea is. One thing for me is that if I can frame something in language, I would never make art out of it. I make art out of things which cannot be framed in any other way. [quote from a talk with the audience, December 1969]
