Working with Carl, we’ve had the privilege of experiencing his unique precision, his intense understanding of his vocation, and his courageous attempt to rewrite the status of a work of art,” said Yasmil Raymond, curator, Dia Art Foundation.Ĭo-curated by Dia curator Yasmil Raymond and Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles Director Philippe Vergne, in collaboration with the artist, the retrospective will bring together works from renowned collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Andre’s impact on contemporary art is often reduced to the realm of sculpture, when in fact his process is palpable across various disciplines and generations of artists. “The simplicity of Andre’s work conveys a striking complexity it reveals the multiple ‘conditions’ that determine not only the artwork as such, but also the material itself in relation to historical and economic conditions. Highlighting the richness of Andre’s work-from early exercises to latest productions-the exhibition will also offer an opportunity to examine concerns shared with artists in Dia’s collection, including Flavin, Judd, LeWitt, Smithson, and Serra. One of Andre’s landmark ephemeral works will be refabricated and installed on the grounds of Dia:Beacon, and an unparalleled display of Andre’s poems and typewriter works will examine the role of language in his practice. The retrospective will represent all major historical and aesthetic shifts in Andre’s oeuvre, including his signature works made out of unaltered building and industrial materials such as brick stacks, metal squares, slabs, and timber blocks. This will be the first museum survey of Andre’s entire oeuvre, and the first retrospective in North America since 1978–80.Īfter premiering at Dia:Beacon, it will travel to museums in Europe, including Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (May 7–October 12, 2015) Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin (May 7–September 25, 2016) and Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris (October 20, 2016–February 12, 2017). The retrospective will include 45 sculptures, over 160 poems and works on paper presented in wooden vitrines designed by the artist, a selection of rarely exhibited assemblages known as Dada Forgeries, and an unprecedented selection of photographs and ephemera. Tracing the full evolution over five decades of the thinking of Carl Andre, Dia Art Foundation will present Carl Andre: Sculpture as Place, 1958–2010 from May 5 to March 2 at Dia:Beacon.
