| CARL ANDRE CARL ANDRE (1935 -) American sculptor who was brought into the public eye in Britain in 1976 with his 'Tate bricks' incident, a sculpture of 120 bricks arranged two deep in a rectangle, entitled Equivalent VIII. The sculpture was vandalised, and the public were outraged by the Tate Gallery's 'waste' of public money. Andre uses ready-made commercial units such as cement blocks, Styrofoam etc. and arranges them in geometric patterns; he is a leader in Minimal art. |
