Flashcards
0/10
Robert Morris
Robert Morris emphasised theatricality and the interaction of the viewer with the artwork, using simple geometric shapes and industrial materials to shift the emphasis from the object to the viewer's perception.
Carl Andre
Carl Andre's sculptures are based on simple, repeated units of industrial materials, such as metal plates or bricks, laid out on the floor to emphasize the horizontal plane and the concept of 'place' rather than 'form'.
Dan Flavin
Dan Flavin is known for his installations using fluorescent light fixtures to create spaces that explore visual and physical perceptions without the narrative content, fostering a direct, phenomenological experience.
Richard Serra
Richard Serra's large-scale steel sculptures engage viewers in a dynamic interaction with space and invite them to experience the weight, texture, and elemental materials directly.
Anne Truitt
Anne Truitt is known for her towering, monochromatic columns that strip down sculpture to its very essence, highlighting form, color, and the viewer's experience in space.
Donald Judd
Donald Judd's works exemplify the use of industrial materials and repetitive geometric shapes, aiming to create objects that exist in the same space as the viewer without imposing any symbolic meaning.
Sol LeWitt
Sol LeWitt introduced the idea of 'conceptual art' where the idea behind the work is more important than the finished object, using systematic instructions for creating sculptures that can be executed by others.
Tony Smith
Tony Smith's works are notable for their monumental scale and simple geometric forms, which are meant to provoke an awareness of space and scale when viewed in relation to the human body.
Ellsworth Kelly
While primarily known for his painting, Ellsworth Kelly's forays into sculpture carried over the same minimalist ethos, with a focus on crisp lines, flat surfaces, and playing with the perception of space and form.
John McCracken
John McCracken's sculptures combine the sleekness of glossy finishes with precisely-crafted geometric forms to create works that appear both man-made and naturally occurring, embodying a sense of pure presence.
