It often surprises and pleases me* when I discover I’ve not yet blog about an artist who is clearly canon (*my pleasure derives from the affirmation of my focus on what is happening today). It is with sadness that I have discovered Carl’s omission only open his obit in Artforum. As they so eloquently put it’ “Andre created works whose stark simplicity evoked deeply primal emotions, and whose modest makeup frequently sparked controversy, as detractors carped that his piled, strewn, or carefully laid-out groupings of humble objects could not possibly comprise artworks.”
