Known for sculptures that outline planes and volumes in space, American artist FRED SANDBACK’s work was informed by a minimalist artistic vocabulary. Though Sandback employed metal wire and elastic cord in his earliest works, the artist soon dispensed with these materials and began using acrylic yarn to create sculptures that produced perceptual illusions while addressing their physical surroundings [the “pedestrian space,” as Sandback called it, of everyday life]. Throughout the course of his career, yarn would enable the artist to elaborate on the phenomenological experience of space and volumes with unwavering consistency and ingenuity.
