Carl Andre

Carl Andre, born in Massachusetts in 1935, was an artist who focused on poetry and sculpture. Most of Andre’s sculptures used wood, industrial metal, or bricks. This piece is called “Stone Field Sculpture”, which includes 36 rocks local to where they were placed in Hartford, Connecticut. The representation of the sculpture relates to tombstones, which is made obvious by the cemetery which lies less than a block away. This is the only sculpture that I could find that was located outside, and it relates to the land more than any of his other pieces.



This sculpture as well as most of Andre’s other sculptures show a pattern. The sculpture below is far from unusual in relation to Andre's other works. This grid pattern is repeated multiple times throughout his works.
