Karl Andre's Onomendietta

Karl Andre used everyday building materials such as bricks and metal plates, which he typically just placed on the floor. Because Andre's work was not carved, bolted, or welded, it inspired as much derision in the popular press as it did admiration in the art world. The Tate acquired a piece by Karl Andre called equivalent eight,. A low-lying piece on the ground of fire bricks that are arranged in a grid. When an interviewer asked Karl Andre about it later, he seemed amused by the controversy.
