100 Lead Cubes, 1996, lead, 10 x 10 x 10 cm

 

Commissioned by Galerie Tschudi in Glarus, in 1996 the Kunstgiesserei cast lead and copper cubes with an edge length of 100 millimeters for Carl André to use in various works. The weight of each single cube with a volume of 1 liter corresponds to the specific weight of lead, 11.34 kilograms. Precision and the sharpness of the edges of each individual object were essential.
