Carl Andre is an American Minimalist sculptor. He is probably best known for 1966's Equivalent VIII, a work that consists of 120 bricks laid on the floor in a rectangle, which was bought by the Tate in 1972.
Andre is probably one of Minimalism's leading figures, adept both at large-scale gallery-filling works and tiny, barely discernable sculptures that take the concept of 'minimal' to daring extremes.
