This exhibition catalogue presents the works of American minimalist artist Carl Andre, showcasing his sculptures in a groundbreaking exhibition at the Haags Gemeentemuseum in 1969. The catalogue, republished in 1975 by Deled Brussels, offers an in-depth look at Andre's influential approach to art, particularly his use of industrial materials like bricks, steel plates, and other minimalist forms to challenge traditional notions of sculpture.
Carl Andre is known for his "floor pieces," where the works are often arranged directly on the floor, inviting the viewer to interact with the space in a more intimate and participatory way. This exhibition at the Haags Gemeentemuseum was pivotal in further establishing Andre's reputation as one of the central figures of minimalism.
Featuring both English and German text, the catalogue provides not only visuals of his pieces but also insight into his artistic philosophy, contextualizing his minimalist approach within the broader art movements of the 1960s. It is a valuable resource for collectors, art historians, and those interested in the minimalist movement.
