Artists in conversation

Donald Judd
American · b. 1928

Judd's minimalist sculptures share Andre's commitment to elementary geometric forms arranged in precise spatial relationships, often using industrial materials to explore three dimensional space without illusion or metaphor.

Robert Morris
American · b. 1931

Morris created minimalist sculptures using basic geometric units placed directly on the floor or ground, exploring similar concerns with form, materiality, and the viewer's spatial experience that define this Andre work.

Richard Serra
American · b. 1938

Serra's early work with raw industrial materials and elemental geometric configurations closely parallels Andre's investigation of weight, mass, and the physical presence of sculptural objects in defined space.
