Scatter Piece 1968

Robert Morris’s "Scatter Piece" (1968) is a prime example of Minimalist sculpture. The piece consists of various geometric shapes made of different materials, including steel, copper, and rubber, scattered throughout a gallery space. The work challenges traditional notions of sculpture by rejecting the traditional pedestal and emphasizing the viewer's interaction with the work. By placing the work directly on the floor, Morris forces viewers to move around the piece, engaging with it in a more physical way. This emphasis on the viewer's movement and interaction makes "Scatter Piece" a powerful and memorable work.
