Fred Sandback<br />
Known for sculptures that outline planes and volumes in space, American artist Fred Sandback’s work is informed by<br />
a minimalist artistic vocabulary. Though Sandback employed metal wire and rod, and elastic cord in his earliest works,<br />
he soon dispensed with mass by using acrylic yarn to create sculptures that produced perceptual illusions while<br />
addressing their physical surroundings – the “pedestrian space”, as Sandback called it, of everyday life. Throughout his<br />
career, yarn enabled the artist to explore the phenomenological experience of space and volume with unwavering<br />
consistency and ingenuity.<br />
The work of Fred Sandback (1943–2003) has been exhibited internationally since the late 1960s. His first solo<br />
exhibitions were at Galerie Konrad Fischer, Düsseldorf, and Galerie Heiner Friedrich, Munich, both in 1968, while the<br />
artist was still a graduate student pursuing his MFA at the Yale School of Art and Architecture. Sandback’s work is on<br />
permanent display at Dia:Beacon, New York, was the subject of a travelling survey exhibition organized in 2005 by the<br />
Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz, and is held in major museum collections in Europe and the United States.<br />
