Minimalism

American sculptor who has worked since the late 1960s with large quantities of raw industrial material, producing curved and tilted Cor-Ten steel walls that define architectural space and demand physical engagement. His Torqued Ellipses and large-scale public works placed him at the centre of late 20th-century sculpture.
