Screenprint in black and red, on typing paper - Image: 5 1/2 x 7 1/8 in. (14 x 18.1 cm) - Sheet: 11 x 8 1/2 in. (27.9 x 21.6 cm) - Signed with initials, dated and numbered in pencil // Untitled (Text Grid) by Carl Andre, created in 1973, is a minimalist screen-print that explores language and structure through the use of a grid format. The composition features a carefully arranged pattern of letters, alternating between red and black text, forming a fragmented yet visually harmonious design. The text appears abstract, challenging viewers to interpret its meaning or appreciate it purely as a visual and conceptual exercise. Measuring 27.9 x 21.6 cm, this piece exemplifies Andre’s reductionist approach, transforming language into a material element of his art, consistent with his minimalist philosophy.

What is Earth Art?
Earth art, also known as Land Art, emerged in the 1960s and 70s as part of the conceptual art movement. It involves creating artworks by sculpting the land or constructing structures in the landscape using natural materials like earth, rocks, or twigs. These works are often large-scale and emphasize the relationship between art and nature.
