 Carl Andre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andre was born in hamilton, Massachusetts and educated in Quincy public schools and at Philips Academy, Andover, where he became friends with Hollis Frampton and Michael Chapman.
Andre served in the U.S. Army in North Carolina from 1955-56.
Andre's concept of sculpture as "place" is of singular importance to the evolution of his work and "minimalist" work in general.

Carl Andre provided a new perspective on sculpture when he placed work flat on the floor; his touch as a poet was no less radical.
Andre designed the shape of poetry according to his own understanding of the word as a concrete module, similar to the squares of industrial metal, wooden timbers, or bricks in his signature three-dimensional pieces.
Andre has been comfortable expressing himself through poetry since he was six years old, and as a toddler may have already taken some pleasure in using the alphabet as an ordering structure.

Andre was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, and studied at the Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, from 1951 to 1953.
Andre's early works, such as Last Ladder (1959, Tate Gallery, London, England), were heavily influenced by the sculptures of Romanian-born French artist Constantin Brancusi.
However, Andre's experience as the engineer of a train and as a railroad guard from 1960 to 1964 influenced his style dramatically, and by 1964 he began to produce minimalist sculptures.

 Carl Andre
Carl Andre was one of the founders of the art movement known as Minimal, Systemic, or ABC Art.
Andre's emphasis on horizontality with the floor strikes at the traditional concept of sculpture as a vertical and anthropomorphic form.
The order which Carl Andre imposes on his materials is not designed to create an art object to be gazed at, so much as to create a set of conditions which generates a perceptual response which we experience as art.

Carl Andre donated nearly 500 pages of his poetry to Chinati's collection, and the work was installed in its own building in 1995.
Displayed in vitrines designed by the artist, the poems were typed on a manual typewriter or hand written by Andre, who began this work in the early 1950s and produced poetry along side his sculpture until the mid 1970s.
Andre's poems, which can also be read as drawings, relate directly to his three-dimensional work in that they incorporate the word as a compositional module, much like his signature use of bricks or metal plates.

 Hartford Advocate: The Artist Who Rocked Hartford   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Andre was prominent among a number artists now known as "minimalists," an umbrella term used to describe a wide variety of styles loosely characterized by their reduction of the sculpting process to its simplest possible means.
Andre was one of the first to explore sculpture's horizontal, floor-hugging possibilities, as opposed to the classic notion that sculpture should rise like a totem from the earth.
Andre is owed to the clarity of his intention, to the frank and unambiguous way in which the materials are assembled and to the way in which a specifically American gift for plain statement has been applied to situations that in ordinary life are confused and contradictory.

When she died in a fall from the thirty-fourth floor of a Greenwich Village apartment building, she was married to Carl Andre.
The writer and curator John Perreault recalls using a slide of Andre's Spill (Scatter Piece) (1966/69) a decade earlier to illustrate the element of chance in a seminar he taught on contemporary art, attended by Mendieta at the University of Iowa.
Andre had been invited to participate in a panel discussion, moderated by Poppy Johnson, titled: "How has the women's art movement affected male art attitudes?" As the temperature in the gallery rose from the body heat of the audience, Mendieta's photographs began to pop off the walls and crash to the floor.

Just as Carl Andre's sculptures are "cuts" of elemental materials, his writings are condensed expressions, "cuts" of language that emphasise the part rather than the whole.
Andre, a central figure in minimalism and one of the most influential sculptors of our time, does not produce the usual critical essay.
He has said that he is "not a writer of prose," and the texts included in Cuts - the most comprehensive collection of his writings yet published - appear in a wide variety of forms that are pithy and poetic rather than prosaic.

Carl Andre was a founder of the Minimalist sculpture movement of the early to mid-1960s.
Profoundly classical in feeling, his sculptures are infused with a sense of timelessness due to Andre’s use of simple geometric forms.
His emphasis on the elementary features of sculpture – material, mass, space, volume and gravity – helped to redefine the medium by questioning the notion of sculpture as object.
