Abstract

Minimalism, a movement that opposes the excessive exaggeration of feelings and form and praises objectivity and simplicity, first manifested itself in the art of sculpture. Carl Andre, one of the most innovative artists of the period, has become one of the most important names of this movement with his Minimalist sculpture. Andre, the sculpture has to offer an infinite viewpoint, just how it should be looked at the definition of how the minimalist statue should be. In response to the hanging of works of art always on the walls, it is important to emphasize using the ground floor with the work of Equivalent VIII. As a form of sculpture, sculpture as a structure, saying that the way from the sense of sculpture as a place, the sculpture has been proposed to redefine the spaces exhibited. The use of copper, zinc plates, wood, and iron objects horizontally and vertically on the ground without disturbing the structure of the objects adds a different feature to the minimalist sculpture. Andre's art has become a reference point for many sculptors in both North America and Western Europe. The artists built their works by being inspired by the principles of Andre's.
