Carl Andre (1935 2024) was a main proponent of the minimal art movement that emerged in the late 1960s. This catalogue appears with Andre s first solo exhibition in a Japanese museum and engages with the richness found in the artist s concise and systematic visual language. Unlike traditional sculptures, his works made of seemingly identical wood blocks, metal plates, or stone slabs are placed directly on the floor in regular arrangements, spreading out horizontally without resisting gravity. In addition, the book contains a selection of Andre s poetry as counterpoint to his sculptures. Devoid of lyrical elements, these poems are meant to be enjoyed by looking rather than being read.
