Floor Piece (Bench) 1964

"Floor Piece (Bench)" is a minimalist sculpture by Robert Morris, created in 1964. The piece consists of a simple, rectangular form, reminiscent of a bench, placed directly on the floor, and painted white. The sculpture's stark, geometric form and minimalist design challenge the viewer's perception of space and form, emphasizing the relationship between the object and the surrounding environment. Morris's work is considered a key example of Minimalism, a movement that emphasizes simplicity, objectivity, and the reduction of form to its essential elements.
