Judd similarly transformed functional and geometric forms into minimalist sculptural objects that carry conceptual weight, often using neutral tones and clean architectural structures to explore presence and spatial relationships.

West frequently incorporated furniture and everyday functional objects like tables and seating into sculptural installations that probe social interaction, gathering, and the ambiguous tension between utility and artistic contemplation.

Genzken shares Schütte's German conceptual lineage and interest in stripping everyday objects of their utility to create charged sculptural arrangements that reflect on human presence, absence, and social space.
