CARL ANDRE Collection of 30 postcards.
Pen and black ink on postcards, depicting various European cities as well as installations by the artist, 1970-90. Mainly written to the artist's parents, Mr. and Mrs. G.H. Andre, from various travels around Europe.
Andre (born 1935) is one of the foremost Minimalist sculptors. After studying art at Phillips Academy in Andover, and serving in the U.S. Army, Andre arrived in New York in 1956, where he reconnected with his former classmate Frank Stella. Together with their contemporaries, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt and Ellsworth Kelly, the artists departed from Abstract Expressionism, the dominant movement of the late 1950s, to pioneer a more objective, geometric aesthetic.
