Artist biography, artworks, statement, interview, review, exhibition:
Carl Andre prefers to call himself a sculptor and hence his works sculptures. Yet he is one of the most important innovators of this medium in the second half of the 20th century who has redefined sculpture in its elementary features: material, mass, space, volume, gravity.

“Sculpture, you might say, is matter mattering. We compliment a painter when we call her a colorist. My vocation is to be a matterist.”
