Showing This March – Carl Andre @ Sadie Coles – London

17th March sees a third showing from sculptor Carl Andre at Sadie Coles HQ in London. Once railroad worker, a member of US Army Intelligence and leader of the Minimalist movement, Andre’s work is predominantly geometrical and produced in various materials such as bricks or wood. Back in 1972, to the cost horror of whoever and whomever, the Tate splashed out on his Equivalent VII sculpture. Controversy ensued over cost. These days fists aren't held so tight, while Andre has appeared everywhere from the Guggenheim in New York to the Kusthalle Basel in Switzerland.

Carl Andre's takes place at Sadie Coles HQ, 35 Heddon Street, London W1, from the 17th March - 22nd April.
