Lot Essay

"My life has been a search for my true limits. Such limits define an artist. I realised that my vocation was to use my materials as cuts into space rather than cutting into the space of my materials." (C. Andre, quoted in E. Meyer-Hermann (ed.), Carl Andre: Sculptor 1996, exh. cat. Museen Haus Lange und Haus Esters, Krefeld 1996, p. 54).
