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 Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
