Carl Andre (b. 1935) Aluminum-Magnesium Alloy Square Andre dedicated himself to the truth of his materials, in this case the smooth hardness of aluminum and the dense weight of magnesium. Gravity cannot be truthfully defied and so the metals are placed upon the floor. Consisting of 100 metal plates laid in a checkerboard pattern on the ground, the present lot is explicitly meant to be stepped upon, a radical breakthrough in the history of the medium. Walking into the sculpture the viewer interacts with the work in a way that is usually expressly forbidden for art.
