(1935 – ) American Minimalist sculptor, Carl Andre is known for his geometrical arrangement of commercial and natural materials such as bricks, cement blocks, logs, and bales of hay. In 1976 Britain, his sculpture created from brick titled Equivalent VII was the source of controversy because of the public’s claim that the Tate Gallery wasted public funds to purchase it. Andre returned to the spotlight in 1985 when he was charged with murdering his wife, Anna Mendieta. Later, it was found that she fell from a window and consequently, Andre was acquitted at his trial.
