About Bread Line

“**Bread Line**,” created by Antony Gormley in 1979, is a remarkable instance of Post-Minimalist art, falling within the genre of installation art.

The artwork comprises a long, linear arrangement of small, indivisible elements laid out on a seemingly expansive and neutral-toned surface. This simplistic yet profound installation features each element systematically placed, forming an elongated and continuous line. The use of minimal materials and the focused repetition reflect the Post-Minimalist movement, emphasizing the spatial and conceptual aspects of art through radical simplicity and direct engagement with the environment.
