Carl Andre
(Quincy, USA, 1935)
An American sculptor who is recognized as one of the leading exponents of Minimal art. An alumni of Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, he creates geometric sculptures using commercial products, like bricks, cement, metal, etc.
The purchase of his work Equivalent VII (1966), consisting of firebricks arranged in a rectangular format by the Tate Gallery, London, was vandalized and accompanied by the outcry against the waste of public funds in England.
