Carl Andre is credited with changing the history of sculpture.
Now nearly 80, Andre scrounged industrial materials — timber, bricks, squares and ingots of metal — and arranged them in groups on the floor. No pedestals, no joints and no altering the surfaces.
In 1970, the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan gave the young artist a retrospective. The minimalist sculptor's career was going well.
Then, 15 years later, he was accused of murdering his wife.
The case received much attention. Andre was acquitted, but his work subsequently found more acceptance abroad than at home.
Now, the Dia Art Foundation in Beacon, N.Y., has launched a major retrospective of Andre's work, his first major show in the United States in more than 30 years.
