Signed; Titled, signed and dated: @carl andre © 1972 // Still Novel Synopsis by Carl Andre, created in 1972, is a conceptual print that explores the relationship between language, repetition, and structure. This inkjet print consists of a grid filled with words, each set in a uniform font and arranged in a precise order. The words, often appearing in repetitive patterns, evoke a sense of rhythm and symmetry, inviting viewers to engage with the text as both visual art and poetry. The deliberate organization of words without traditional sentence structure or narrative flow challenges conventional reading, encouraging the viewer to interpret the composition based on pattern, sound, and texture rather than literal meaning. Signed, titled, and dated by Andre, this piece is a part of a limited edition of 50, exemplifying the artist’s minimalist approach and his interest in language as an abstract, structural element.

What is avant-garde?
Avant-garde refers to innovative and experimental ideas in the arts that challenge established norms and conventions. Originating from the French term for advance guard, it describes both the movement and the artists who push the boundaries of creativity, often exploring new techniques, forms, and concepts. The avant-garde has been a driving force in various art movements throughout history, such as Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, continually reshaping the landscape of art and culture.
